The fact is, anything can be a weapon. Any little thing, from sand on the ground to a big baseball bat to ...

I don't think choosing not to wear a lanyard is the answer. After all, a jersey could probably be used to strangle someone, so the next logical step is ... right.

For that matter, house keys make *great* weapons. Wedge them between fingers, pointy part out, and give that attacker something to cry about!

Not that I've actually tried it, but when entering dark parking lots and whatnot, I habitually keep my keys in a stab-ready position.

You could carry one of those small cans of pepper spray. They're lightweight and you could probably rig a way to carry it on your handlebars if you didn't want to put it in your pocket.
And you could also use it to zap harrassing drivers!

we bought canine pepper spray after being charged by a pit bull when walking out dogs... now when i take a solo trek around the neighborhood i clip that on my shorts.. i figure it could work for dogs or nasty people! (it comes with a clip already on the canister)

I have one of the wrist Road ID's, my husband has the dog tag and I got my biking friend the ankle one for her birthday. All of us are happy with the ones that we have.

I found that my wrist ID leaves a funky tan line above my glove tan line, so I I tried it around my ankle and wala, it works there too!

I'd highly recommend them, the service was prompt and they delivered as promised.

I have ID in my camelback usually, or I stick my DL in the leg of my shorts.

The Lifter of Heavy Objects has been a police officer, medic and fireman. He says the medics won't look in your bike/bag etc, but the cops might, eventually.

I like the idea of the id tags, cause they have a space for emergency numbers. I also like the idea of a label inside my helment.

Another friend suggested having something on your cell phone indicating what emergency number to call.

I used to grab my driver's license and insurance card and stick them in my handlebar bag or jersey pocket. Then one day, I was driving to work and realized that both items had been in my bar bag for several days, which means I didn't have them with me. So now I've made copies and laminated them for durability.

I do think I'll check out those Road IDs though.
