You still use an easel. Bicycles are best for trips up to one hour in length. An electric bicycle would extend the effective range. The fairing system can keep one warm and dry. The dual mode capabilities of bicycles with cars, buses, or trains are available now in many areas; a maglev train would be no different. Rail companies still use light trucks with steel rail wheel adapters. Buses could be fitted as well. The real difficulty comes because rail lines are privately owned by freight haulers at present.
