Anyone commuting on a bicycle regularly?

I would like to ride my bike to work. Or even a skateboard. It's a mile from home. Neither will be battery assisted. I still take junior to school though.
 
If I did the food shopping I would be tempted to get a cargo e-bike. But I don't and the wife wouldn't consider it. I'll just stick with my regular bikes and complain about people with the cheater bikes :Wave:

Hydraulic disc brakes truly are the way to go. They are so nice.

They have hydraulic disc brake sets for ebikes on Amazon priced between $42 to $168. Lots of choices. I think I can handle the install with good instructions. I’m going to search YT for a “How To” video.

This is a better option IMO. You keep your existing brake lever, cables, discs and simply upgrade the calipers. This is slick.

Non-hydraulic? Nevermind. I watched the video. That is slick!

Time to show off my 10 year old kid. He's getting really good at riding wheelies. He has a mongoose bmx and this Trek. The Trek has mechanical disc brakes. We plan on getting him a mountain bike this summer.
He uses the rear brake to keep from looping it.
