Cyclist arrested for riding on sidewalk spends a day in jail

[OakLeaf]

Getting arrested would be the farthest thing from my mind - but I don't go anywhere without ID. Driver's license, insurance card, organ donor card, and phone. Not even to run speedwork on the track. If something were to happen, I don't want any delay in getting medical treatment and getting my next of kin notified.

I leave it in my (locked) locker at the gym, but only because everyone there knows who I am and knows which locker I use and could vouch for me/call DH in an emergency. If I'm working out someplace where I'm not known, I keep my phone and ID in my spibelt just as I would if I were running outdoors.

I know this issue has been discussed here ad infinitum ... but not in this thread until now.

Heck - I do too.... I don't ever want to be shunted off to the cheapest ER because they don't think I have insurance.... but I also know that if I'm not driving that it can't be demanded that I produce ID. That doesn't even mean that I wouldn't if asked, but I can see how this could be used to single out certain people who may not drive and may not even have picture ID. We still have a free enough society that you don't have to have your "papers in order" to be able to move from place to place....
