I bought my track bike for its simplicity, this contraption would cleary condradict my original reason for buying the track bike.
But, i would say, it would be nice to free wheel around some of those sharp corners that are taken just a wee bit too fast, that make you think, holy crap, how did i make it outta that turn with my fixie.

I think it could be marketed as a training bike for road racers. It would also be more useful if, instead of a button, the freewheel were engaged by pulling the break lever. That way when someone tries to slow down using the break, they are not fighting the spinning cranks.
