ID for Riding?

[OakLeaf]

I have a Road ID also--mine is the dog-tag one so I can just tuck it inside my shirt and it's unobtrusive. The wrist or ankle one would have bugged me, I think.

I just tried on an ankle one at the running shoe store, and it's VERY unobtrusive. I didn't even know it was there. I don't like anything on my wrists, either.

But I'm concerned about identity theft with anything that you send away for, with that much personal information. Unlike credit card identity theft, the legal protections for health care identity theft are pretty minimal, and more importantly you may not find out about it until much too late. If you're going to wear a dog tag, why not just get one of the ones you make yourself in the store for $5? (If you don't mind it being shaped like a bone or a heart )

I wear a roadID that goes in your shoelaces. Don't have to worry about forgetting it. If you go to their website and read the testimonials, you will buy one for every member of your family. Some guy was hit by a car and was unconscious. It was 24 hrs before they could identify him and notify his family (and they didn't have his medical history).

Another one with RoadID - I have the dog tag version. Every time I get on the bike, I'm wearing it. As you all have said, it's mostly so they could contact my DH in the event I could not.

Also, my dad is a first-responder and he said they're checking cell phones of unconscious people for this entry: ICE (in case of emergency) so they know who to call/notify. That's another thought if you carry your phone when you ride.
