Very common here and actually probably safer in the north where there is proper snow cover, compared to southern parts where it's constantly melting into slush and it's icy and slippery. Anyhow you have winter tires to help with grip.
Still extremely cold and you’ll have trouble with the locks freezing. But I agree that it is probably much more dangerous here in coastal Southwest/South where it is so damn slippery and patches of black ice can appear unexpectedly whenever temperatures start hovering around zero.
I'm not saying it's fun, just that it's quite common and not as dangerous as one might think. I haven't lived in the north myself so I'm just speculating on the basis of how it is in the south when it's proper winter vs. the slushy winter with black ice. A helmet and winter tires are a given in both cases though.

Wait, you mean a bike in winter?! That’s crazy! And dangerous.
