Get file or image path as string from uid

Question

I need to get the relative path to a file, in this case, what i need is:

/sites/default/files/pics/DSC00873_39.JPG

But all I seem to be able to get is the following:

$file = file_load($pic);
print $file->uri; // public://pics/DSC00873_39.JPG

Any ideas please?

I don't get it. What does the UID have to do with anything?
