Or fixed with a front brake. It's not that unreasonable.

I don't know why people act like riding SS with just a front brake or fixed without foot retention w/ front brake is taboo. I've had more complications riding fixed brakeless then riding either of the two ways mentioned and yet that seems okay by most.
