Road I'D - Compare & Contrast

[brianne]

Hi Road ID wearers.
So I wanted to query users....which one to get?
Wrist? Ankle? Dog tag? Elite? Sport? Interactive or not?
What have you found to be the pros/cons of your selection? What DID you get and why?

Thank you so much for asking this question. With some gnarly accidents of my own and a recent cycling death (Paige Hicks of Bike and Build) on my mind, I finally decided yesterday to buy a Road ID.

I was actually most concerned with how the Elite would feel on my wrist, if it would slide around, get stuck when I have sweat dripping down (ew!), how thick the rubber is, etc. I called the company yesterday to ask about it and the guy I talked to said that if I wanted the Elite, I should wait to buy it until mid-August when an updated version (with a new buckle) is added to the website. Not sure how great of an idea it is to put off buying one even longer, but I'm considering it.

Since I've moved many times in the last couple of years, I'm thinking about buying the interactive ID rather than the original so I can update my address and emergency contacts without having to buy a new ID.

I have the century creed, "There will be days when I don't know if I can ride a century. There will be a lifetime knowing that I have."

I have never heard this before, but I love it! Do you know who I can attribute this quote to?
