 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.

Or, even one wheel less: scrap the bike and strap on the running shoes!

(Seriously, unicyclists have my respect and admiration!)
