I also carry a wallet with ID and some money, but as said above a wallet is easily lost in an accident.

Why so? There's a good deal in my wallet I would not want floating around, so to speak. I carry, in addition to RoadID, etc. about twenty $$ in cash. Now if I were touring, it would be different. Why does not carrying a wallet trouble you?

I suppose I could get hit by a meteorite whenever I leave the house, but I still go to work each and every day. And on long bike rides, too.

I stopped carrying a wallet several years ago. I carry 5 cards (driver permit, health card, CAA card, bank and credit card) and a few bills (if any) and no pocket change. I pay almost exclusively with my bank or credit card.

Wallets are extra weight.

re: wallets.
I have one of those little stick on pockets on the back of my phone case in which I place:
DL, 2x credit cards, banks card, health insurance card.
phone goes into a rapha essentials case with $20, a sanitary handwipe and a small vial of advil/electrolyte pills while riding.

I wear one when I ride with my wife's cell number and some medic alert info. I was talking with a paramedic while at a marathon last year (I was a bike marshall) he told me that they ALWAYS check wrists for medic alert bracelets, be they road ID or the conventional type. I carry a photo copy of my DL and health insurance in a jersey pocket with my phone.

I carry my health insurance card and ID, as well as a credit card. In case I get into an accident, seems useful to me.

I wear mine whenever I ride, as well as carry some cash, CC, DL in a ziplock in the jersey. Never thought about health insurance card, but that's a good idea. Also, I guess I don't need the DL, once got a ticket from a park ranger I would not have gotten if I didn't have my license on me. Just do it all out of routine.

If you fail to provide name and address or it comes back nonsense, they'll take you for a ride.

i use either a wrist mounted or ankle mounted Road ID, mostly cause i'm allergic to Penicillin and it has all of my medical info and medial insurance info on it. i never carry a drivers license on me, simply cause i'm not driving. i always have the key to get into my house, my cell phone and usually about $20 cash in one jersey pocket, obviously everything to fix a flat in a second jersey pocket, and food if i need any in the third jersey pocket...

Does the PD lookup only work if you have a drivers license? Or if you live in a completely different state or country?
