Oulu, Finland is a massive biking center. The weather is winter most of the year. Their infrastructure for bikes is amazing so people use it, even when it’s cold.
They also have very strick guidelines about how quickly the bike roads are plowed after/during snowfalls. They keep the routes open and useful so people can trust the transit modality all year round.
The US just plows the snow onto the bike lanes and then complains about how bad biking is.

Yup, salt can do a lot on the snow.

Does the salt damage the bicycles?
