@sweatpee,
Yes, the law defines a fixed-wheel transmision as a brake, so you need one other brake on the bike, or two if you have a flip-flop hub with a freewheel fitted to the other side. A prosecution for the rider of a one-brake bike will depend which cog he is using. For ther shop, it depends on compliance with BS and C&U laws, so you still need two with a flipflop in order to sell the bike, but not to ride it.
