@ oboe:Here are a few Dutch and Danish cyclists I've caught red-handed using non-upright bikes

I do not think that drugged Tour de France winners qualify as representative of average bikers.

@ charlie:the issue is by allowing distinctive religious gear (hijab for muslim female cops) are we endorsing that religion?

It's the opposite. Uniforms are worn for a reason: to show neutrality. By allowing people to break the uniformity (for whatever reason), you break the neutrality. Police officers represent the law, not themselves. That's why they all wear the same uniform.

BTW: The beard is not an issue. It's the deviation from the uniform.
