Road ID

[Trekhawk]

Looking at buying Road ID and wondering if any one has a preference between the one you hang around your neck and the wrist one. Hoping to eventual do some longer rides and wonder if one would be more comfortable than the other.

I have both the RoadID that you wear around your neck and the one that goes on your shoe. I use the Shoe ID on my running / walking shoes, and I use the Fixx (the one that's worn around your neck) when I ride. Two of the guys I work with use the RoadID that goes around the ankle when they ride.

They all work - I think it comes down to personal preference.

Also - it is possible to get information on both sides of all of the IDs - but if you want to do that you'll need to order over the phone. In case you need ideas of what to put on your id other than your name & phone numbers for family and/or friends, here's what I have on my RoadIDs: on one side: my name, city, state, name & cell number for a friend, name & home phone number for same friend, name & home phone for a family member. On the reverse side: info on medical history, allergies, the name of my health insurance company, my year of birth (apparently emergency personnel like to know how old you are before they start treatment), the fact that I am an organ donor, and the name and phone number of my doctor.

That's a great question!
You have reminded me that my husband need Road ID, too!
It keeps slipping our minds!

I have Medic Alert. I'd chosen a necklace, as I didn't think I'd like a bracelet style hanging on my wrist... and I reserve my wrists for a watch or a HRM... the other side for my LIVESTRONG bracelet. I am fond of the LAF and of Lance himself. (We have lost young family members and young friends to cancer.)

I'll be interested in the replies, as we'll be ordering soon, too!

I have the one you put on your shoe. I guess if I lose my shoe I'm up a creek, but I figured I had enough tan lines

On mine I have my name, city and state, contact phone #, doc name, that I have crohn's disease, my doc's name and the important to know med I'm on.

I'll have to add a laminated card with contact numbers, I always carry my drivers license with me when I ride.

I need to do things super-cheaply. Just was thinking that the cheap ID tag from the pet store - done while-you-wait. Okay, maybe they'll think Lynda Gene is a stupid name for a dog, but they can fit a lot of info on those things!

There are definitely many very inexpensive ways to have pertinent info. with you!
