Do you carry health insurance info while riding?

TE carries the jimi wallet :-)

My main wallet has a removeable insert - I can take it out and put it in my bike bag - it is small and holds DL, ins card, debit card and a little cash. Then goes back into the main wallet, into my purse, when I get home from the ride.

Great thread by the way!

I carry my driver's license, insurance card, credit card and a little cash, wrapped up with an hair tie. It's prettier than a rubber band.

My cell phone has a listing of ICE - for In Case of Emergency.

I used to have a little laminated card I made with emergency info, allergies, etc., but since i moved i haven't made a new one. Need to do that.

A bit of a spin-off from the unidentified cyclist who died. I read a few people carry a road ID. Does this include health insurance information?

Right now I tuck my drivers license and a credit card in one of my bike bags but I'd like to get a bracelet or something that is easier for a medic to find if I am ever seriously injured. I do have health insurance but have not been carrying that information.

I wear the interactive RoadID, which does include vital insurance info if I choose to include it on my profile. I have current medications listed, major injuries (especially since I have a recent traumatic brain injury), doctors, medical record number, etc.

Great thing about the RoadID is that the info stays on you. According to my friend, when I had my accident, everything was scattered (I have no memory of the accident). If I didn't have the information on me, then the EMTs may not have had access to what they needed because my friend was unable to provide it. (I'm now a testimonial on RoadID.com here.)

On top of the RoadID which I wear all of the time since my accident, not just when I ride, I also carry my driver's license and insurance card in my jersey pocket.
