wooohooo! got my road Id today. It is really cute
I got the biker girl on mine. And the pictures on the web site don't do it justice! An i got a red silencer. I wish they had pink though.

I bought one of those flashing lights from the website. I can wear it on my wrist, which will be nice.

I would get a road ID, but I move so often, I figured it was better just to carry a piece of paper on me.

Brandi... they're great aren't they? I keep mine inside my glass case... that way when I ride I never forget it... cause I never ride without glasses! works really well for me... I thought about keeping it in my shoe, but the glass case works just as well...

**Brandi** · 03-17-2006, 09:36 AM

you got the dog tag one? WHy didn't you get the one for shoes?

**bikerchick68** · 03-17-2006, 09:51 AM

My impression was that you needed laces for the shoe one...

I didn't like the ankle or wrist options because gawd knows I don't need an additional tan line...

the dog tag seemed perfect for me... I tuck it inside my jersey and I'm good to go! doesn't matter which one tho... I know some people hate having anything around their neck... I always wear necklaces so it doesn't bother me!

I got my Road ID not too long ago, and I love it, too! And I thought it was great customer service that they send it USPS and the company pays for shipping. I feel great comfort wearing mine since I bike and run alone out on country roads.

I have the necklace style, and the only thing I noticed about it that was sort of discomforting is that the ID hitting against the chain sounds like a dog's collar with an ID and it freaks me a bit, since I've been chased and bitten by a dog. Funny how that one incident 12 years ago still haunts me.

LOL - glad to know Im not the only one. I cant count the number of times I have looked around for a dog and then realized its just me jangling away. Im always relieved, dogs freak me out even friendly one and squirrels dont start me on them.

I have come to the conclusion that squirrels are psychotic.

I think I'm going to get one. I need steroids if I ever get sick or injured, and I have a medicalert bracelet but the engraving on the back is not really legible anymore.

**Brandi** · 03-18-2006, 12:31 PM

They are really nice. I feel bad for you to have to be on that stuff. I was on steroids for a while once and it was awful! Do you gain weight on them? or is that why you bike? I gained 10 pounds in like two weeks on them and it has been hard getting those pounds to go away.

**DrBee** · 03-18-2006, 03:01 PM

I just received mine today! Yippee!

Hubby and I both picked the ankle bracelets. They feel nice! I got the blue one - the reflective strip is bigger than I thought. They also weigh less than I expected. Very nice!

I've been on steroids for the past several years, and it is so miserable. I don't make hormones anymore because I had brain cancer a few years ago, and they had to take out part of my pituitary. All in all, I've probably gained 30 pounds. It's awful. And you're right - it's so hard trying to get those pounds to go away.

I don't understand at all how people can take these things for body building.

**Brandi** · 03-19-2006, 08:10 PM

Awww i am sorry you have gone through cancer, but i am glad you are here to talk about it.

**Technotart** · 03-20-2006, 05:34 AM

The road ID will velcro to your shoe strap - thats how I have mine - you don't need laces. I just leave it on my shoe all the time, it never gets taken off.

As for the steroid use while body building - those steroids are slightly different, but either can make you miserable. I'm sorry you have to be on them fuji. Very very smart for you to have an id tag!

**Fuji Girl** · 03-20-2006, 05:46 PM

OK, so I bought one today. I hope it is cute. There wasn't enough room to fit my entire medical history, so I just put "panhypopit, give me steroids."

I was going to get the picture of the Biker Chick, but then I realized at the last minute they had the Fuji bike symbol (like my avatar) and I couldn't resist. hee hee
