RoadID - do you use one?

[GrumpyGregry]

Everywhere I go people seem to be sporting these more and more. My running club really encourages folk to wear them on their shoes. An increasing number of cyclists seem to wear them these days.

If you do why? If you don't why not? What alternative products do you use?

(I wear a medicalert dog tag because work takes me to strange unexotic climes.)

Don't wear one. Been thinking of getting one but never get round to sorting it.

I got an IceID mainly for when I'm doing long rides on my own (although to be honest my two long rides for 2013 never happened). I'll be wearing it on LEL although if anything happens they should be able to identify me from my rider number.

I found that IceID have less personal information on them (no address for example), it's just who I am, who to call, two phone numbers for them and also the fact I have no allergies.

I must admit I thought about something but never got round to it I have some details on my mobile, ICE etc but thats no good if it gets smashed.

I wear a MedicAlert so feel that covers me if needed.

Dog tags with my name and address - about 3 or 4 quid on ebay.

I keep meaning to get new ones to say "in the event of my death, please upload any unfinished ride to Strava".

I keep meaning to get a Medical Alert tag. Too many allergies to list on them, makes it a bit difficult, without it being too big to carry.

Realised the amount of time I go off for a run, shorts, vest top and no ID. Got one a year ago, wear it all the time. Running, dog tags would bounce around and irritate me.

Not something i have thought about getting but these look good as well as serve a purpose, will be getting myself one soon

 

[Broughtonblue]

Where do you get them from?

 

[Nigel-YZ1]

I've worn one of those SOS Talisman things for decades.

I carry a spare heart, kidney and liver in my rucsac at all times.
