I'm facing this and am undecided.

Thanks.

If it were me, I'd ride to the shop to pick up what I needed to fix the brakes and take care of things immediately.

But if I couldn't get to a shop for a couple days, I'd ride in the conditions you describe because you barely need your brakes. It's still not a great idea.
