Road ID...Anybody got one?

[spazzdog]

Just got my new "Road-ID Elite". Very cool looking, though it's the packaging that makes for the $29 price tag I think.

The bracelet arrived in a very cool, square tin box. While I appreciated the packaging design, would like to see it become an option and have the bracelet alone be priced down a little.

BUT - it is a nice looking bracelet and no velcro!

I just got my new elite...I like it, but I have a really, really small wrist and after I fixed it to be sized correctly, the clasp is off center. Sort of annoying.

I hadn't seen the "elite" bracelet, that is very cool. Please keep us posted on how well it stands up and whether it gets dirty easily, etc.

After seeing MDHillSlug's daughter wearing her RoadID on our recent tubing trip, I think I may do these as a Christmas gifts for my niece and nephews. And my biker (motorcycle) dad.

The Elite has a rubber band with a metal (looks like brushed aluminum) clasp.

Fully adjustable (you slice off the extra rubber). Waterproof and doesn't get soggy in the shower

The nifty box can be used for "stuff" - sewing kit, jewelry, change, or yet another piece of home clutter

Kenyon - now that you've cut the band, just slide the nameplate part to whatever "center" is.

Easier to do this with bracelet off.

You've already showered with it?? Did it at least buy you dinner first?





Sorry, boring day at work, I'm getting punchy

Kali, I've been single for a looong time. So, yeah!

The Road ID seemed nice, we had breakfast together and then hit the shower

It didn't even snag on the loofa... very well behaved

I don't have the Elite, but I do love my Road ID bracelet. Even gave a gift cert for one to a good friend who is a newbie cyclist.

Well, that sold me. Time for me to get a new Interactive Elite RoadID.


I'll feel so fancy

[spazzdog]

it's silky smooth on your skin

I got the old fashioned "info listed on the tag" not the "interactive" or "virtual" (forget what they're calling it)

Has my name, city/state, b'day, blood type, no allergies, and the number of the person to call should I be found laying about somewhere via involuntary means

Yeah, that's I have currently, too. But my father's a tad paranoid and, while he appreciates the idea of the RoadID, he's not thrilled with having his phone number on display on my wrist. So, I've been considering the interactive version for a while.

[spazzdog]

Funny - i decided against interactive because i didn't want my personal info in yet another database that i had no control over.

we is a funny bunch, us humans...

Yeah, now I feel like an idiot. It was pretty tight but it did slide. Duh.

I'm going to get better about wearing my RoadID. A jogger was hit by a Metro bus yesterday, and it took about 10 hours before they could identify her. (she's alive)
