Meh...newer cars are pretty salt resistant. My 2003 Camry has been thru 13 winters and there is zero rust on the car body or undercarriage.
The salt will eat away at the cassette, chain, derailleur and frame if it's a steel bike.
Bikes will always start in below zero temperatures, but cars may not.
Who in their right mind would want to ride their bike in below zero temperatures? And if the car doesn't start in below zero temps then that's the fault of the owner for not checking the condition of the battery and rest of the car before the winter season. 27 years of winters I have been through and I have yet to experience my car not starting.
