I swapped out the factory drop bar for a flat. I’m running one brake at the rear. I understand the most stopping power is at the front, hasn’t been an issue for me.
I used to ride bmx race bikes in the 90s that only rocked a rear brake and since then it’s all I ever used for the riding that I do. Neighborhoods, creek trail (paved), coffee shop runs, occasional surface streets.
