It's a safety product. Comes in wrist band, ankle band, shoe tag, or dog tag. It has your name and emergency contact along with medical info like allergies. It's great if you're riding alone or with a group that doesn't know you and you're injured. I don't ride alone much, but my partner mountain bikes alone a lot so it makes me feel better that she wears it in case something happens.

A good idea for any one to wear! It is like a medical id bracelet meets dog tags. The simple one has info right on the front of who you are and who to call if you get hurt. The one I wear has a pin number on back so they can call and get me medical info. (I am highly allergic to all pain killers)

Ok, I have not purchased yet due to costs etc. lame excuse, I know. My question is how would you identify hyperthyroidism on the tag? I do not see a listing for it in their medical lists. Would I put Graves Disease? What about medications that I'm taking? I think I have everything else figured out. Soon to be ordering one.

It's like a dog I.D. tag in that you can write whatever you like. I just have my name, emergency contact and the fact that I have a cervical fusion. I've heard cops say that it is preferable to keeping something in your bike bag because some cops would not think to look in there. When it's on your person, it's hard to miss. I have the ankle ID and I never even know it's there except for the weird tan line in the summer.
To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

They also have an interactive version where you have your medical information/insurance provider/doctor/emergency contact information online and there is information on the Road ID to provide emergency responders/hospital staff access. This is the version I have. Originally Posted by Red Rock

Thanks for all of your inputs. I am trying to be cost effective about this, if that is at all possible. With all of these digital toys we have these days it seems like we are constantly being hit with subscriptions of this or that, I would really like to stay away from another subscription if at all possible. This would leave out the interactive version. If I can get all on the original version that would be great. Are there any advantages of have two different types of the ID?
