They're quality bikes designed to handle almost anything you can throw at them. If youcan find something that with a minimum of conversion can match the ride-away TP then try that. Good luck though as the flat bar alternatives would require a new stem, drop bars and brifters.

Don't run red lights, wear a helmet, use hand signals, get some cycle lights(front and rear) and, FFS, don't run red lights!
