[horserider]

I have been wearing one (Fixx) for two years.

Sweetie has one. So does his dad. Both wear the bracelet type and like it.

By the way, if you do a search on this site you'll find lots of references to it.

I have one. So do all my cycling and tri buddies.

I have a yellow wrist one, and my hubby has a black shoe ID

edited to add: I was actually inspired by this thread to get our Road IDs:

Count me in. I have had the Fixx (necklace-type) and just recently went to the bracelet ID. I have to say, they have really improved on the velcro/comfort issue of the bracelet type. Years ago, the material they used wasn't nearly as comfortable as what they offer on the their present product.

I started using one last summer, when I started going on group rides with people who really didn't know me or my "contacts." I wear it riding alone, skiing, hiking.

I have the ankle ID. I keep it looped through my helmet straps when I'm not riding, so I never have to remember to bring it with me--I always have my helmet, so I always have my ID. I got that idea from something Nancy posted, and it's worked well.

I use the kind that goes on my shoe. But others in my cycle group have the wrist one too.

Have a good weekend and safe riding!

not a lot of horseback riders would think of using a road id even thought it is a good idea to wear one. riders of all diciplines should wear it (english and western riders). That is just my opion though.

You're right....any hiker, biker, runner, walker, skier, heck ALL athletes should wear one, and especially those out and about solo.

I have a yellow bracelet. Face it, bike riding is not without it's risks. It is safer together but sometimes we go out alone. Even if you are with a group, having all the info right there is extremely helpful for finding your family or for the hospital or whatever else you may require.

I've been wearing one for a month (black band although now I wish I had gotten yellow or red) and just ordered one for my best friend. We both ride alot alone so best we have some ID noticeable. Just gives me some piece of mind. My friend since he is diabetic, needs to have some ID on about his disease.
