Road I'D - Compare & Contrast

Dog tag! DH and I both have them and we just keep them on most/all of the time. Mine is about 3 years old and still shiny.

I have the wrist ID elite and I would get the same thing, should I need to ever order another. Waterproof, adjustable to your particular wrist size, easy to see. It is great.

I got the ankle - anything around the wrist aggravates my wrist. I can use it to hold my pants away from the chain.

Sorry about your friend

If you have a medical condition - the other option is a Medic Alert tag. I've been wearing a dog tag when I ride for years. Tag has medical information, then medical people can phone in for your other info if you're unable to speak.

Just thought I'd mention it.

I got the ones that fit on shoes (one on my riding shoes, one on sandals I tend to wear to kayak and such). BUT, I've heard that if things are really bad, the emergency folks take off your shoes. So I've been thinking about getting a dog tag one. But I don't like the feel of stuff around my neck or wrist or ankle, so maybe I wouldn't like it?

i have the dog tag kind. i generally hate jewelry type stuff but i never really notice it when i am wearing it. i have heard the bracelet ones are best because that is where they look first. i have a green silencer on mine and an pretty picture on the back.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. We lost a cyclist in my community today to a hit and run.
I have the wrist ID. A friend of mine who is a paramedic said it's the most visible spot for EMT's to look when someone is down. He also said the ankle would be his second choice, and the dog tags third. He said the shoe ID is not the most practical for running/cycling because shoes often get knocked off (in especially violent accidents). Just my thoughts. I think if you have one- any kind- it's a good thing.

I have the wrist Road ID. I'm planning to buy a new one so I have one for taking walks (including walking to the gym) and a second to keep in my bike bag so it's always there for bike rides. I'm planning to get the regular non-interactive kind again.

So my big decision is what inspirational words I should have on the last line. So far I'm considering:
