Submitted by joshua on 05/14/2008.

A rear brake on a fixed gear is often effectively redundant, since the rider can perform the same action that the rear brake performs by locking his or her legs and skidding.

Having one brake is smart, but it should be on the front, not the rear. You should read this article for a better explanation.
