I am thinking of getting one of those road ID's. You wear them around your wrist or ankle.
Any comments?
Thanks

Yes. Love it. Don't leave home without it.
Get the wrist one....it's much more likely to be found in an emergency than something on your ankle.
If you do a search, you will find a lot of discussion about Road IDs. I never leave home without it. Mine is for the wrist and the general concensus is that wrist id's are most likely to be seen by EMTs. That said, DP has one for her shoe.

I have two. One stays with the bike gear so I always have it for rides.
The other stays with my gym bag. I wear it to the gym (I walk there and don't bring my wallet with me) and when I go for walks around the neighborhood.
They're awesome. Hope you never need it, but be prepared just in case.

I have the road ID slim. Used to wear it just on rides, now I wear it all the time on my wrist. I've got some medical allergies so I used it kind of like a med-alert bracelet. I only take it off if I'm getting all fancied up (very rare, haha!).
thanks for your comments, will order a couple asap!
thinking of getting them for my sons too.
Thanks for this post! I just ordered the roadid fixed (dog tag style) ... and probably will get the slim too
I never heard of that product until I read your post
Love my RoadIDs. I have the wrist sport original. Tiny wrists, so size small. Fits perfect. Pink and purple. I keep them hooked thru the straps on my bike helmets. I would never ride without my helmet so my RoadID is not forgotten.
I've also ordered some reflective gear from them. Which was nice. And their FireFly blinkies. The batteries thru them are dirt cheap compared to the store.
Once I had a blinkie break when I was putting it together. The customer service lady mailed me a new one free shipping no problem. She said their returns department is literally a shoe box on top of someone's desk. Very nice people.
I had a med alert bracelet that I wore for a while but it broke. These are cheaper and seem to serve the same purpose.
