Just got myself a Garmin Edge 200 and have a query re one of the settings.

Could be a stupid question but do I set the distance as Statute UK or Miles?
What is the difference?

Velominati, Rule 24

Speeds and distances shall be referred to and measured in kilometers.
This includes while discussing cycling in the workplace with your non-cycling coworkers, serving to further mystify our sport in the web of their Neanderthalic cognitive capabilities. As the confused expression spreads across their unibrowed faces, casually mention your shaved legs. All of cycling’s monuments are measured in the metric system and as such the English system is forbidden.
