Yes, in the same way that the train and the treadmill are both irrelevant..... I watched until they mentioned the "crosswind" on the train. Last I heard, trains only move forward and backward.This stunt by a bicyclist is pretty cool.
At first glance, it looks like he never moves...
Does this apply to aircraft on a treadmeal?
I didn’t click the link yet, but here’s a picture of a train that experienced a slight crosswind this weekend…
No, because a bicycle is propelled by the wheels, and an airplane is not.This stunt by a bicyclist is pretty cool.

How would him being on top of a train versus a stationary ramp affect the crosswind?
On top of a moving train as he was, the crosswind component would be 100%.
Same if he was on a stationary ramp with the same orientation.
How so? He would be moving forward relative to the ramp, so a stationary ramp means he is moving forward through the air, leading to at least some headwind component.
