Ah, that's true of some fixies, but not all. I think that's a $200 Amazon Special. Since it can be converted between a fixed gear single speed and a freewheel single speed, it has brakes. I can't tell how it is operating currently, however.
If you don’t mind ordering online, I bought this bike from Amazon for $179 on Prime Day (usually $199) and it’s been fantastic for commuting and exercise. I prefer not having gears to bother shifting through and the bike is pretty fast. Weights nothing and is easy for me to carry up stairs every day. Maintenance is low with no gears as well.

And to help with size reference if you’re looking to order, I’m 6’2, 210lbs and the 57cm/L model was perfect for me.
