Good deal?

It looks like it has both a front and rear brake. Riding a fixie is difficult to learn at first, but can be fun.
When your feet stop pedaling, you stop moving.
If you have any hills, understand that you can't coast down them- you have to be pedalling your tail off because the wheels always move with the cranks (or just take your feet off the pedals and fly). Going uphill will be difficult because you only have one gear.

Here's a single speed. This is different than a fixie because you can coast on it.

Here's a nice looking Fuji road bike as an alternative.
