If you don't like being 'strapped in' I would consider trying to borrow some clipless pedals with a big platform and some clipless shoes, much easier to get your feet in and out.
I would buy a freewheel anyway - get used to riding the actual bike and how it feels before going fixed, I found it a much more enjoyable experience. (make sure you run two brakes though)
Also you're named after my boyfriend's brown sauce (no that's not a euphomism http://www.lfgss.com/thread39263.html)
