Having some ID is pretty darn important. I made a photo copy of my insurance card wrote a few numbers on it. I have an old sunglasses pouch where I keep a few patches, a small multi tool, tire wrench, and that card. I won't ride without that bag so I figure I will always have identification.

Thanks to my mom this valentine's day I now have a RoadID. I have the basic velcro one, and actually have been keeping it on the armband I got for my shuffle. It has my cell number, my mom's number, and my best friend/roommate's number.

After a crash where a friend kept my phone to get in touch with people for me, and not being able to remember any numbers, I think it's important to have. Luckily I did have ID with me, but my driver's license has an old address, and my name is long so hard to read.

Oh, and I asked around about these on some forum at some point, and heard that emergency personnel are being taught to look for them.

Only thing missing on mine is that my pupils are different sizes... important info since it made them want to drill a hole in my skull ;)

My wife got me a Road Id this past Christmas - got it with the velcro strap so I can use it for open water swims, bike and run. Just like wearing a timing chip.

I use a little velcro one on my shoes and also keep an insurance card in my seat wedge when biking. Now that I think about it, it might be worthwhile include blood type info as well.

I work in an ER. I would suggest anything over dog tags. If you have something with a picture of yourself on it, that would be the best. We just can't trust dog tags as ID info. I haven't seen the Road ID on anyone yet, but I think we'd be more likely to trust that.

I always tuck my drivers license, insurance card, a piece of paper with emergency numbers and a few dollars in a ziploc and stick it somewhere on my person when I'm out training alone.

The tri club I belong to has ID's with all of our emergency information and contact #s so I keep that in my pocket when out for runs and rides.

I've heard of a similar product called "ID on me" I'll try to find a link to a site that either sells it or has a picture. Good luck.

I keep an old drivers license in my bike pack complete with organ donor sticker. I like the idea of the Road ID. Gotta get one.

There are definitely cheaper ways to have ID/numbers/info with you. Part of what I like about roadID is that people (ie emergency people) are learning that it's something to look for. When I crashed, I had my driver's license with me (with an old address on the front, and the correct one on the back. They still got my address and name wrong. And I couldn't remember phone numbers, and the guy who I had been riding with kept my phone to get in touch with my family. I would have loved to have had a few numbers on me that day. And when I run, I'm nervous now. I often carry a phone and emergency numbers just in case. Having them on a metal thing that is just always there when I run is convenient.

yeah... the guy with me called "mom" and "home" which was tough on my mom, as she lives far enough away that she couldn't come down and be with me or make sure I was really ok.

I heard about ICE in an email forward (about 2 weeks after I crashed). I had some numbers in like that, but it does bad things to my phone -- since it then has numbers in 2 places, it doesn't know who to show as calling if the number calls, and so it just shows the number and no name. I got rid of the ICE with numbers, and replaced it with a note that said who to call.

as an EMT, i've never heard of ICE, and locally, I doubt anyone would know what it means here in SA. in a trauma situation though, we'd likely go by anything we could find to name a patient and get hold of family. this is the first i've heard of roadid, so i'm going to check that out.
i personally have an expired drivers license with my husband's name and numbers on the back (our license includes donor status, but i need to add blood type). then i punched a hole in it and attached it to my car key, which is fastened to my handlebars when i ride. kind of a cheesy set up, but i can't imagine being hurt and no one knowing how to get hold of my hubby. plus, the id is very visible and not stashed in a pocket or my seat bag.

cheers.
