I am not a fan of gaudy uniforms either, but we have to wear them from time to time.
I am not talking about the mini medals. Full size ones. I just developed my own method for mounting them though. Will take me a bit of time, but I have all week <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
GunDog, as for bikes - I love riding mine. I ride mine to work everyday. It is about a 8 mile trip there. I do some long distance stuff in the summer, 50-400 miles. Obviously I stop and camp on the longer ones instead of pedaling 400 miles straight.
