All bikes shown have thick chains, no gears(maybe hub gears on
one) and no apparent brakes. Hub brakes by back pedaling?

Right, primarily fixed gear.
I crazy dangerous job that I expect some people have no trouble taking. Not me that would be crazy. Also, having road a bike for most of my life and many miles I have never road a fixed great bike. Does this mean you are either pedaling for not? The hub must not be a freehub or cassette. In my world I have no idea how anyone could ride a bike like that, seems incredibly dangerous. Do they use cleats and what is basic speed your are going?
