The bike racks around here fill up with bikes like in the OP in late spring. Be early autumn I am nearly the last one riding. Then in winter with -30F windchills I am the only one out riding. I like to call those kind of cyclists periodical cyclists.
Several posters in this thread are forgetting that one can own more than one kind of bike. My fixed-gear has fenders, a rack, and room for studded tires, so it easily does year-round duty. But it's not germane to this thread.
