Exactly. Some of them may like it so much that they'll keep it up. Be ready come fall with advice for winter commuting.

"There is no such thing as bad weather," as the old Finnish proverb goes, "only inappropriate clothing." (Of course, Helsinki has the highest number of mental health professions relative to the population of any major city. If most of the year it was dark all the time, and so cold you can't poke your nose out of doors without freezing it off, you lived on rye bread and pickeled herring, and spent most of your time listening to Sibelius and reading Evangelical Lutheran theology, you'd be depressed, too!)
