    Kelley, I do not have the shoelace one... in fact I have 2 Road ID wrist bands, because one was "lost" for a few months, so I got another one. They both feel tight.
    I wear a size 7 glove, so I know my hands, etc. are not big! I think my whole body swells a bit when I ride, especially in hot weather. I am used to it.
    I am trying to get my husband to get one. He commutes to work a couple of days a week at this time of year and although he has his wallet and cell phone, I don't know how I would be notified, if he couldn't talk.

    Katie, get a MA license!

    Just got my new "Road-ID Elite". Very cool looking, though it's the packaging that makes for the $29 price tag I think.

    The bracelet arrived in a very cool, square tin box. While I appreciated the packaging design, would like to see it become an option and have the bracelet alone be priced down a little.

    BUT - it is a nice looking bracelet and no velcro!

    no regrets!

    I hadn't seen the "elite" bracelet, that is very cool. Please keep us posted on how well it stands up and whether it gets dirty easily, etc.

    After seeing MDHillSlug's daughter wearing her RoadID on our recent tubing trip, I think I may do these as a Christmas gifts for my niece and nephews. And my biker (motorcycle) dad.

    The Elite has a rubber band with a metal (looks like brushed aluminum) clasp.

    Fully adjustable (you slice off the extra rubber). Waterproof and doesn't get soggy in the shower

    The nifty box can be used for "stuff" - sewing kit, jewelry, change, or yet another piece of home clutter

    Kenyon - now that you've cut the band, just slide the nameplate part to whatever "center" is.

    Easier to do this with bracelet off.

    Yeah, now I feel like an idiot. It was pretty tight but it did slide. Duh.

    I'm going to get better about wearing my RoadID. A jogger was hit by a Metro bus yesterday, and it took about 10 hours before they could identify her. (she's alive)

    You've already showered with it?? Did it at least buy you dinner first?





    Sorry, boring day at work, I'm getting punchy

    Kali, I've been single for a looong time. So, yeah!

    The Road ID seemed nice, we had breakfast together and then hit the shower

    It didn't even snag on the loofa... very well behaved

    Well, that sold me. Time for me to get a new Interactive Elite RoadID.


    I'll feel so fancy

    I don't have the Elite, but I do love my Road ID bracelet. Even gave a gift cert for one to a good friend who is a newbie cyclist.

    I just got my new elite...I like it, but I have a really, really small wrist and after I fixed it to be sized correctly, the clasp is off center. Sort of annoying.
