    Yeah, I've had this happen, too...though the silicone ones gave me bad eczema on my wrist...that mix of sweat and sunblock and moisture and my skin were not happy together. Bummer, since I like the silicone ones better.

    I don't have one yet but in the meantime I ride with my health insurance card and text my dbf every ten miles or so where I am just in case.

    I have one "tag" and switch it between wrist and ankle ID. That said, it's 95% on my ankle. I know wrist is preferable, but it drives me nuts when exercising. So....better to have one on my ankle than not at all. But - so long as you're getting the same form factor (i.e., not the slim), you can switch it and see which form you like the best for minimal extra cost.

    Never leave for a ride without the road ID around my ankle. I really can't tolerate wearing it on my wrist.

    I have one for my wrist. Originally I purchased it for bike rides but now I wear it on hikes, runs, etc... I purchased the original (velcro) and think my next one will be a slimmer version.

    I had a terrible crash. The ID tag told them who to call, my insurance number, and what hospital to bring me to. Don't go riding without one.

    I have two. One fits on my bike shoes and the other is a wrist id. I don't leave home without one and I encourage others to get one.

    I don't wear one, but am always careful to have ID, health insurance card, emergency number and phone on me. Here's a post from a rider who did have a Road ID on, had an accident, and the ambulance medics didn't look for it, had never heard of it and chastised him for not having ID. He was OK, and conscious, but lost quite a bit of faith in Road ID.

    Yes I wear a road ID on my wrist. I also carry an expired driver's license in my saddle bag with my "emergency cash".

    I have 2 Slim Wristband Road ID's plus 1 dog tag style one. I wear one on my wrist all the time and the other one I have on a wristband that I put on my handlebars of my bike. If I go out on a ride by myself, I'll wear the dog tag one too. I guess I want to make sure I can be identified!!! LOL
