Sure, tho track bikes IIUC in particular don't
have coaster brakes. They are fixed so one
would brake by resisting the forward movement
of the pedals slightly until the bike stops.
I never tried this myself but I suppose it is
a good feeling riding such a bike and the
pedaling technique will probably benefit
from it.

I've only got personal experience with one Track Bike. I came across a
bicycle messenger in Bangkok riding one. He ran into my rear wheel to
stop at a red light :-)
