Honestly, where is your foot retention? Keep the brake on the bike. Why not wrap the bars?

Ure going to want to get some pedal retention..
Other than that ride it hard & if u like riding fixed u can always upgrade the frameset, etc @ a later date

Tighten the chain slack, get straps/cages/clipless. At first glance frame looks too big for you. Overall nice bike. Enjoy it, learn it & figure out your fit for your next bike

My honest opinion is buying things from amazon is unethical due to the companies history of union busting as well as the fact that Amazon supports the genocide in Gaza through monetary donations and technological support
I’m pretty sure I had the same one several years ago, also purchased from Amazon. It wasn’t a bad bike and perfectly fine to learn with. No point in spending a tonne on a fancy build if you’re just starting out. But yeah, like everyone says, get some foot retention (straps or cages) and get it setup properly, you’ll be fine.

I would also wrap the handlebars, unless you like them that way.
