Yes, you need brakes. CTT isn't FixxaySkiddahz in French or something.
https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/articles/view/11
"Brake levers must be secured to the handlebars in such a position as to enable the competitor to readily apply both brakes whilst holding the handlebars at their widest point. The width of handlebars shall be no less than 35 cms.
On tricycles and tandem tricycles, two brakes may operate on the front wheel but otherwise the braking systems must operate independently on both front and rear wheels.
Bicycles with a fixed wheel shall have a left hand threaded locking device securing the fixed sprocket. Similarly, tricycles with a fixed wheel shall have a suitable locking device or alternatively shall include an integral system as part of the design. Machines with fixed wheel require only a brake operating on the front wheel(s)."

Oh dear, possibly. About to start building up a fixed machine for next season.
I was on this thread to find out the deal with brakes and CTT regs - do I need one and does it have to be the front?
