Road ID

[Technotart]

I have the shoe tag...It just stays on my shoe and that way I dont have to remember to put it on each time I go out to ride.

One other thing I saw recently though - In your cell phone, enter the word ICE (In case of emergency) in front of the people you want contacted in case something happens. Emergency personnel are starting to look for that designation to know who to call. Sometimes a cell phone is the only thing a person has that keeps them from ending up a jane or john doe. The problem with relying on it as a form of ID is that the cell phone can be rendered non-functioning in an impact or if they get wet. If it can't be turned on, it's no good.

Laminated cards and such are good too but in a very bad accident, the jerseys get cut off at the scene and left behind - pockets may not be checked before they haul you off.

If you can't afford the road ID, the dog tag at the pet store would be the way to go. Don't bother putting your Drivers License number on it though. Name, phone numbers and medical info are more useful! Just be sure to get a new one if the phone numbers change.

EDTA - if you get the shoe one, you can get a wrist or ankle strap for it too.
