Hm,

I have a 15 year old bike on which I ride almost every day in each season.
During all the years I almost never have got any problems.
Just be sure that you have good lights, good tyres and that the parts that
can rust are greased well.

I don't know how cold it can be in Michigan but in Holland you can simply
wear your normal wintercloths.
