I wear mine at every ride on go on. I have the one that wraps around your ankle and it stays on well and is very comfortable. You can customize what you want it to say and where you want to place it too.

Munk69

Yes. Every ride.

In the house it's off, leave my yard it's on.

If I'm headed towards civilization, I'll have my wallet with me.

I have about 5 miles each way on low traffic a dead-end road here at home which sometimes I don't carry ID with me.

My bicycle still has my University ID sticker on it, although I don't know if they have kept the records. There is also a police tag on my bike stating that the serial number was registered with the police (which is actually my driver's license number stamped on the bottom bracket as there was no manufacture S/N), but it is very difficult to read, and again it would depend on how complete their record system is.

What exactly does the Road ID do that can't be achieved by carrying an ID and a card with basic info like your emergency contact # and your blood type in your wallet, and carrying the wallet in your jersey pocket?

I don't have any allergies or anything emergency response crews would need quick access to. I'd rather they call my wife later than sooner if there's a serious problem. I usually have a phone and credit card with me but no special ID. When I ride with a group they all know who I am.

I have a photocopy of my driver's licence in my saddle bag. On the reverse side, I have written my contact info, blood type and allergy. I should say though that I onced asked a pair of EMTs at a Starbucks which one of a dog tag, wrist/ankle tag or a slip of paper in the saddle is the best to have on you as a cyclist involved in an accident, and without skipping a beat, they both said the dog tag is the best, as they really don't have to search for it. The info in the saddle bag might not work, as your bike may have been knocked clear of you in an accident.

Road ID allows the EMT to connect with a database with all your medical information including your doctor's name, etc. You can put quite a bit of info into that database. They may or may not notice the wallet in your jersey pocket when they cut that $400 worth of clothes off you.

Never ride without it

DowneasTTer

I don't even leave the house without it. As a heart patient with and ICD I have the medical alert badge that clips on the band. It's also the interactive model. Many of my doctors appreciate a print out of the web page for their records as well. On top of that I carry both my and my wife's medical records on a small usb pen drive on my key ring. Including all my echoes and ekg's. Just in case...

CliffordK

Great stuff to have in the saddle bag. But, I don't take my saddle bag off the bike when I stop at a store. If somebody really needs a tube, it is theirs. So far nobody has messed with it.

I suppose I don't care if somebody can get the same info about me that is in the phone book, but I don't want somebody stealing info that could be used for identity theft or hacking my bank accounts.

Every ride. Think about riding with your buddies, if you or one of them crashes and is hurt, what is the spouse's phone number, what or where are the medical records? With a Road ID listing their name, birth date and phone numbers all will go much easier.

rick458

I have Mine on my Helment so I do not forget it, Wifes is on her bike.

BigC_82

Yes as I have dog tag road Id that I use whenever I ride or run outside.

coppercook62

I ride with Road ID and I also use the app.

killian21

Yes.

f4rrest

I have "I.C.E." and phone number written on a sticker on my driver's license.

Paramedic thought it was for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Doh!

My son bought me one and I feel really silly when I forget to wear it when I ride. It doesn't happen often. It was a lovely gift!

banerjek

It's amazing how useful simple stuff like this can be.

A buddy and I were in a bad wreck a few years ago (car took us out). Even though he was conscious when the EMT's arrived, he was totally incompetent to answer simple questions like where he lived, who to call, etc. I happened to know all this info so getting the info was no big deal. But the takeaway is that it's a good idea to have basic info about yourself clear and obvious.

la rosa 

Yes all the time.

etw

Yes, always.

FLvector

Exactly. Don't assume that the EMT will look for your information in your jersey or seat bag during the chaos. The first thing they will look for is a medical alert bracelet or tag. I had a friend call my wife to tell her what hospital I was being taken to.

italianstallion

I originally bought mine for when I ride but now I wear it all the time. It's got my full name, year of birth, ICE contacts, and the fact that I'm not allergic to anything and have no medical history. It gives me peace of mind: I just moved 1500 miles from all my family and friends so it's a way for me to feel better that I won't be some John Doe should anything happen when I'm riding my bike, running, or doing anything else. And I know my family can be contacted. However I do still ride with my ID in my saddle bag.

I just came home to find mine in the mail. Will proceed to never take it off, just like my watch. The large band is a bit too big for my wrist, though, so I might send out for a smaller one.

turkey9186

Yes, anytime I am on the bike. I loop it and my heart rate chest strap through the webbing on my helmet when I get off the bike, so I never forget it.

I was TDY to Lackland AFB in 2013. On a group ride, I hit a stray dog and went down hard. I had updated my interactive Road ID with the Command Post emergency number and my acting supervisors cell phone number at Lackalnd. By the time they got me to the emergency room, both had been notified.
