When you first start out fixed it is probably a good idea to use at least a front brake. If you want to, after awhile, try to ride without brakes then just don't use the brake that is on the front of the bike and see if you can manage. I currently have 6 f/g bikes and one of them has front and rear(tandem) and two others have front only. Three have no brakes. I can honestly say I like each of them for what they are. Neither is (better) or (more true or pure) than the other. They each serve a purpose as they are geared differently. I do tend to ride the brakeless ones more often as I like the increased awareness that the brakeless ones encourage. You pays your money and takes your choice. The important thing is to have fun and not worry about being (Correct).
