Fixed gear bike on the road are required by law in many states to have a brake on the front (if not all). The fixed gear is considered to lack brakes and you need brakes on the road.
Braking by using one's feet on the fixed gear is rather poor compared to caliper brakes.
I don't know about the zen thing, the ones I know have this air of ahem arrogance about riding on the track.
Personally, I'm a spazz on such thing will most certainly hurt myself on such contraption.
besides, I don't have the kind of finance to own a road bike, a road bike for the trainer, a road bike for the crit, TT bike, mtn bike, downhill mtn bike, track bike. No gots with cash.
