Like Bikerchick, I also use the RoadID. (www.roadid.com). I read about it here on this website in a similar new-to-riding forum. I love it--it's like a dogtag. I also bring cell phone, cash and flat repair stuff.

Welcome to riding, too. I just started in April with a Trek 1000 WSD road bike, but I think my sister-in-law got a bike like I imagine your LBS considers a "geezer" bike. She called it a comfort bike. And she LOVES it for riding with her kids on trails.

I highly recommend reading the Getting to Know you thread on this site. I don't post too often but the virtual peloton is really groovy to be a part of, and seeing what a diverse bunch we are is inspirational.

Have fun and spin, spin, spin.

Me too, me too! I also use the dogtag version of RoadID (known on their website as the Fixx). But I put information on both sides of mine. One side has my name, city, state, + emergency phone numbers for 2 different people. The other side has the name of my health insurance company, the name & phone for my primary care physician, my year of birth, and other health-related info (any allergies, etc.).

Definitely you should carry id, and having it on your body is a good thing... no searching needed by emergency personnel.
