RoadID - do you use one?

[Cush]

Wear dog tags for longer rides.

 

[Rob3rt]

No I don't, but I do carry ID in one form or another either in a pocket, down my skinsuit (even though I could be identified by my race number and thus my details and emergency contact details found on the organisers records or a copy of my entry form) or on the bike.

although that could waste vital minutes

I've just ordered these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001UY3X5E/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't have one but I'm thinking about getting one.

 

[MarkF]

Never heard of it.

I cycle to get away from everybody & "stuff" so I don't take a mobile either.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

I don't really have anyone to use as an ICE anyway

Yes, that's a problem for me too.
Think I need to do something about it, just in case.
Maybe ask a friend to be ICE, give them spare keys and so on.
It's one of those things that need done I keep postponing doing.

Another vote for dogtags here. It keeps SWMBO marginally happier

The MedicAlert dog tag get on my wick when honking to be honest, but only in hot weather so it hasn't been a problem the last three or four summers. Some sort of wristband appeals.

When I remember, I carry my driving licence, but most of the time I forget.

Dog tags for me. I often ride alone so a bit of peace of mind for swmbo!

are paramedics trained to look for dog tags in an accident situation with a cyclist?

my understanding is that they (and all medical staff + first aiders (we certainly were)) are trained to look for any kind of medical alert whether on a wrist or around the neck. what form that comes in nowadays can be pretty much anything.

Certainly what my first reponder b-i-l's have told me when dealing with the unconscious in RTA's. Initial assessment and then start looking for ID and ICE is standard practise.

Got ice id myself.
