Learn to trackstand and skid. It makes riding fixed even more fun, safer and cool. All very important.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. Being cool is obviously the most important thing, and comes way above being safer! Trackstanding and skidding will come in time.
@FatManOnAFixie It's nice to know I'm in good company. Your bike is a bit newer than mine though - mine's got the previous style of headbadge, plus the old school front light mount on the fork for extra dork points.

Commuted in this morning on the fixed gear bike I've built out of an old Dawes Chevron that my neighbour was chucking away.
Have never ridden fixed before, and didn't die. Felt good.
