You should slap a coaster hubs on the rear, it's a lots more fun being able to slow down with a light back pedal.
I don't know, I never really enjoyed singlespeed, even after riding a brakeless hipster bicycle for a long time, felt like a broken variable gears bicycle.

"felt like a broken variable gears bicycle" - never heard anyone say this before. What make was your brakeless hipster bicycle?
I rode this Dapper in 2011 summer and after 2 months became annoyed by coaster hub because I had to always adjust pedal position for take off after stopping at traffic lights.

pardon late reply. was riding brakeless, your suggestion for fixed with front brake is a great idea but only after i enjoy a bit of being able to coast for awhile. you know you realise how enjoyable freewheeling is only after you ride fixed for long time.
