    Thanks for the welcome! Part of the problem is the body style, my trek does not have the step through nor the chain guard. It’s a great bike but more for my fun and fitness needs

    I’ve commuted the last few years on a step through bike with roller brakes (hub brakes popular outside the US), chain guard, upright ride and the like. Bikes like theses are out there, but hard to find. Check out Bikes For The Rest Of Us blog for where to get some ideas.

    You could probably put a three speed coaster brake on it for $100 or so, but I agree that it’s probably not worth it.
