BMX race bikes often have only one brake, at the rear. And for a race bike, there's no need to be able to spin the handlebar - so no gyro.

But of course, you could have one installed - if you wish.

Or you could set a bike up with only a front brake. In which case you don't need a gyro either - you just run the brake through the steerer tube.

No.

Only if you want both to do bar spins AND to be able to brake. Race bikes don't do bar spins, so they don't use gyros for instance.
