    If you have medical conditions - MedicAlert http://www.medicalert.org

    Have been a member for years, got used when I was hauled to the ER after learning the hard way that I have a food allergy.

    They have bracelets, necklaces, ankle bracelets. Medical professionals have access to the records you have with them - medical conditons, medications, your doctor's numbers, next of kin. There is an annual membership fee.

    In my Bento box on my bike I keep a spare insurance card, my doc's office card, and somesort of ID - if I'm riding from the office I have my military ID card that I need to get back in the compound. Not exactly a phone number of next of kin, but then if *they* explored my phone - my mother's number is under "Mom". Trust me as a former EMT, exploration for ID can get rather brazen when the need arises, you just need to have the thing on your person somewhere.

    Another good reason to carry ID:

    This guy didn't have any id, but somehow the cops were able to track him down by the serial number on his ipod.

    I think I'll just keep my id on my instead.

    You can get a pet ID and put anything on it from a vending machine outside of most major dept. stores (I'm thinking Wally world.) They're little aluminium tags. I think it's like $5. Then you can attach them to a bracelet or anklet or shoe or whatever. Good budget option.
    I can do five more miles.
