Ive been looking up this brake thing.. Ive seen in forums etc. that you must have "two independent brakes" (not 100% confirmed)
There's nothing in the swedish law about fixed wheel beeing a brake or not. Until someone recives a bill and decides not to pay and blah blah you know the drill, until then we dont know wether its considered a brake or not. But they say that the bike has to be equipped according to swedish regulations, wich means you need a brake (foot operated or lever operated -interpret your self) and a bell (I dont think they'll refuse you to start if you dont have a bell..) and when it's dark you also need front and rear light (white/yellow and red, NOT flashing), white reflector front, red reflector rear and yellow/orange or white reflectors to the sides. This is quoted and translated from the swedish road administration.
