No. Track bikes have no brakes, which makes them illegal on public roads in most jurisdictions and extremely dangerous in traffic. Even if you add a front brake, the fixed gear, aggressive geometry, and minimal tire clearance make track bikes poorly suited for road use. If you want a fixed-gear experience on the road, purchase a dedicated street fixie with at least a front brake, more relaxed geometry, and wider tire clearance.
