So does Finland. See "Why Canadians Can't Bike in the Winter (but Finnish people can)":

If things can be taken car of so cars can operate in winter there's no reason why they can't be for bicycles (as someone who lives in Toronto, Canada).

If you slide a front tire 12” to 18” on a car, nothing much happens. If you do that on a bike, something very much happens.

The standards of snow removal needed to permit 2 wheel vehicles to operate safely are quite a bit stricter than those for 4 wheelers.
