Yeah! Fixed-gear in winter! Rims last forever. Another aspect of not
using the brakes much (legs do the slowing with back-pressure) is: the
rain water that drips off the bike when you get home isn't that yucky
gray ("rim mud") from grinding the rims with brake pads (that really IS
a primitive way to slow down! :-)

Hey, why not really go all the way - commute in the rain on
a unicycle! All the advantages of a fixie without all those other
wimpy extras like handlebars and a second wheel. Much less bike to
clean, and it stores almost anywhere.
Take it all the way! :-P
