Road ID - and they have a non-velcro option here. I have the slim version and it works fine for me, it isn't just for kids.

How do you carry I.D.? I like the bracelet idea, but I can't wear most metals against my skin due to irritation (even worse when sweaty) and the velcro bracelet they have looks like it would be hot and wide.
Looking for other ideas. I thought about putting a bracelet on my bike, but that won't help if I'm lying on the ground and the bike happens to be MIA.

I have no problem with the Road ID wrist band. I forget I'm wearing it, no matter how hot and humid it gets.
I have the original style with the velcro closure, so I don't know how the silicon ones feel. I have worn Livestrong bracelets on long summer rides with no problem, but they are very loose.

Gone but not forgotten:
- Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
- Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles
I also have the original road id velcro band. I have really small wrists and don't even notice than its there. Feels not much different to having my watch on the other wrist.
I wear mine all the time for both biking and running.
I wear a watch while riding, and the band is the same material as the RoadID band. I don't even notice it.
At least I don't leave slime trails.

Thanks, Catrin. It looks like the metal wraps around the silicone...does it touch your skin?
And, everyone else, thanks for the info on the velcro bracelet. I wear a Livestrong bracelet (youth size fit much better than the adult size) and it doesn't bother me much in heat. I'll go one of those routes.
I have the Velcro wrist one - fine for biking & skiing, but I hate it for running. Too wide & hot. To the point that I took it off mid-run one time, and almost lost it.

I'm sure it's not quite as likely to be found as the wrist one - but I have and like the ankle one. I bought the wrist band for the same ID, and can't wear the wrist one. I cannot possibly forget I'm wearing it, and it bugs me. On my ankle - I forget about it. And it's WAY better than nothing.

I have the Road ID Slim. The metal doesn't go all the way around the band. It just sort of hooks over the edges, so you can pop it off and change bands if you want.
I hate anything too tight or hot on a ride, and this does not bother me at all. I don't even know it's there.
I really like the slim, and as Penny said, the metal doesn't go all around the band. It just slides on it so you can remove it to clean the band or to transfer it to another band that is color coordinated to your bike if you wish
I WILL say the slim is meant to fit snugly - and if it is the correct size then you can barely get it over your knuckles. Once it is actually on your wrist it isn't too tight at all.
I have the slim, in blue. Fits fine, I don't notice it. However, it looks like every other wristband--livestrong in yellow, komen in pink, etc. I wonder if an emergency worker will notice it as an ID or dismiss it as yet another "support this cause" bracelet. I may get a second one that is more obviously an ID.
Roo, I was just thinking the same thing the other day!
I have the slim in black and I wear it all the time.....on my bike, hiking, to the gym, on the motorcycle..... anywhere I may not readily have ID on me. I think the black looks obvious enough to not be confused for a "cause" bracelet. The metal does wrap the edges slightly so metal does contact your skin a little. I have a size small band which is snug going on but fits perfectly when on. I LOVE my RoadID!!
