I Just Bought a Bike and it's Missing a Key Feature

I've been looking to purchase a new bike for a while now (my last was a Huffy from when I was about 12 . . . so quite a while) and I finally got one this past weekend. I figured I would ride it all over town and get in shape while I run my errands and save the environment. Call me Captain Planet (unless that name is already taken).
I ordered it off line and put it together the other day (including putting on the one red tire because I forgot to add a second). It's a fixed gear bike meaning it doesn't have brakes. Yup, you wanna stop - jump off. This was the first time I had ever rode a fixed gear and I was fairly certain I would just be able to stop by using my insane leg strength to halt the pedals. Nope. If I'm going fast and there's an intersection coming up, sayonara.
Here's the scoop!
