Don't forget to bring ID!

[MommyBird]

So sad to hear stories like this poor lady's. We all know how vulnerable we are on the road.

I keep a copy of my drivers license in my seat pack with a $5 bill.
I can't remember if I have the insurance card.

I planned to get Road IDs for the entire family for Christmas but never made the final purchase. I created them for all four of us but could not decide on the strap style and wanted to make sure everyone was happy with the data and when I went back to tweak them they were gone! Why do some sites save your cart forever and others clear it instantly?

Which band is better...The Velcro Sport or the Rubber Elite?

I am leaning towards the Elite because it comes in all of our family's color codes. Dave=Green, Drew=Blue, Nick=Orange and me=pink. I may go purple since pink rubber gets nasty.

I worry about my boys because the boat house is not in the best part of town. They do their warm-up run in a rough area. I sure keeps a mom praying!
Not too long ago a female adult rower was robbed on her run. I am not sure why one would think it would be lucrative to rob a jogger but this fellow did. Thankfully it was just a robbing.

The first responders are not likely to go through your seat bag, and your bike and seat bag are not likely to go with you to the hospital. I'm glad you are planning to get Road ID!

MommyBird- I have both the velcro band and the rubber elite band. I like both. I wear the rubber elite band every day. The velcro band was sportier, but not as professional for wearing to work. No matter what kind you buy- buy them NOW!

Withm, I am truly sorry to hear about your sister's lost...

I wear my roadid whenever I'm running or cycling or traveling on my own for that matter. I am tempted to get an elite version for more casual wearing. Does the black stay nice-looking for a while?

I've outfitted my husband and father-in-law with their own roadid, too...

The Elite is nicer IMO- doesn't get stinky and need a bath. On the other hand, the Elite band has to be cut to fit, and might not be a good choice for someone who's still growing.

Be very careful cutting the Elite band- it's easy to cut too much! (Ask me how I know...)

I've only been wearing my elite band for about 7 months, but the black hasn't changed color at all (and I wear it 24 hrs a day). I almost cut too much off mine when I got it. Yes- be careful.

Be safe out there, everyone!

Shootingstar- glad dearie will be OK. Speedy recovery vibes coming his way.
