. If you're going to be commuting in traffic,you really need brakes on both ends for safety. And you need to learn to use your front brake properly. I've never had the issues you talk about after over 40yrs on bikes and 35yrs on motorcycles. I have no issues riding on wet roads,grass,or snow. I've even ridden in freezing rain with studded tires. I commute no matter what the weather.

It's a burden having such a skill.
