Anyone know of a good place to get id braclets or tags. I have my address and what not on the inside of my helmit but what (hopefully never) if something happens to me and the elmit gets messed up?

Some people go to Petco or Petsmart and have a dog tag made with their name and # etc. Or there is Road ID - I think the url is www.roadid.com

Petco rocks! Also Fred Meyer has a dog tag engraving machine. They're all pretty much the same. For $5 or $6, you have a durable, easy-to-locate tag you can hang around your neck, just like Fido. I have two, AND the tag in my helmet, AND an entry in my cell phone listed under

I.C.E. Scott (husband)

It stands for In Case of Emergency, and most medical personnel know to look for that if they find you AND your cell phone and you're unconscious.

My dog tag has:

Name, date of birth, town name where I live, "Call Scott" and his two numbers including area code, and my two drug allergies: "Vicodin, Keflex = rash."

What can I say, paranoia runs in the family. I get anxious on the few occasions I forget my dog tag.

**Brandi** · 03-09-2006, 03:18 PM

never mind i did a search and found them . Sorry if I was being dumb there.

**caligurl** · 03-09-2006, 03:25 PM

you weren't being dumb! and they are as good or better than they appear to be on their webpage!

(and the firefly is awesome like i said in the the earlier post! it's small but SOOOO very bright!)

**Brandi** · 03-09-2006, 03:31 PM

thank you! Hey what part of Cali are you from by the way?

**DeniseGoldberg** · 03-09-2006, 04:15 PM

I wear a RoadID too. I actually have 2 of them - I have a shoe ID for my running shoes, and when I bike I use the Fixx.

One thing that is not obvious from the RoadID web site is that you can put information on both sides of the ID. I have my name, city/state, and emergency contact information on the front. On the back I have my year of birth, allergy information, health insurance info, my doctor's name & phone number. While I like Caligurls biker on the back, I felt like it was more important for me to have the additional info - especially since I ride alone most of the time. (If you want info on both sides of the id you need to order it over the phone instead of on the web site.)

Oh, and I have several of their Firefly lights too - they are awesome. I was out walking one night - and I had 2 of the blue firefly lights flashing, a neon + reflective belt, and an illuminite jacket. Someone saw me on the road and told me she thought I was a police car. Well, I guess that means I can be seen!

I want one of these, too. I was thinking about the ankle bracelet. Does anyone have one of those?

I have the wrist and ankle road id (one tag, two different bands) I use the ankle a lot more and love it. Just one thing, make sure it isn't on bare skin, put it around your sock. I haven't had chafing issues with the band, but can imagine it may cause a problem.

**tprevost** · 03-09-2006, 06:32 PM

Thanks to those who told everyone about the road id. I ordered a FIXX and a shoe tag for me but I also ordered the FIXX tags for both of my boys. We took them to a Kings game last week and put DH's business card in their pockets in case we became separated. I thought it would be great if they had these tags to wear in this situation as they've been instructed to go find a policeman/fireman etc.; that way they can just show them the tag.

I still need to copy my ID and insurance cards but I'm getting things done... slowly but surely!

BTW, the petco dog tag is an excellent idea! Plus they have some really cute ones now!

Tracy

ps. Brandi, did you order yours yet?
