Well, I'd still recommend starting out with a singlespeed w/o foot retention until you get comfortable riding the bike, using the brakes, and mounting / dismounting before trying fixed. To do fixed you will need pedals with foot retention, which can take getting used to and back pedalling for slowing down.
