ID

[Flyingfox]

I have no idea what my blood group is.

It's red, if that helps.

Unless you're a rare blood group, it's not that important - more important is to list any drugs you're allergic to. I suffer from a severe allergic reaction to two of the most commonly used antibiotics, so much better in my case to list those.

Just got my RoadId from the states. Didn't take too long, ordered on the 23rd
Unfortunately, they etched it wrong, missing the last 2 digits from my number......
I reckon the best test of a company is their customer service.

ICE on my phone or wallet in the rucksack.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

I normally have my wallet with me which has my driving licence in it.

 

[Lance Jack]

I normally have my wallet on me with my work ID which has my blood group and height (?)

I printed out a simple ID with all my details on and laminated it and wear it round my neck. On the back I also printed off a checklist for all the things that I do prior too a ride and also take with me on a ride. Doesn't work though as I still forget things, monday I forgot my pump.

Well at least you remembered your bike .................... you did didnt you ..................

I have a ride ID with the following etched on:

Name
Post code with house number
ICE telephone contact
And Blood Group


and I also have a few contacts in my mobile phone with the ICE prefix

I sometimes have a bank card in the small wallet i take cycling, not always though.

If you want to find out your blood type out of curiosity, they tell you when you give blood - you get a little card with it on, as good a way to find out as any

I have dog tags with my ID, emergency phone number and blood group. I also have an SOS entry in my phone.
I have thought about a barrel type thing you get for dogs and roll a strip of paper inside to put some important medical information. At present I rely on the emergency services being able to contact my wife.

I used ICE ID


Pretty much the same as the Road ID, but UK based.

ICE entry in mobile, MedicAlert card and driving licence in wallet. Can't see any benefit in an additional item.

I didn't for a long time, then shoved a bit of paper with primary contacts on in my puncture kit. If I'm gone, I'm sure they would find it eventually. Think the wife would be on the phone if I hadn't arrived or texted within the agreed time slot.

God it was easy living with parents in my teens, "Bye, I'll be back today...." - arrived back many hours later. Now it's "I'll be back within xx minutes and xxx minutes. CC rides are " I will be back today about 2-5pm" - text message updates needed. PS I now have responsibilities as well.

Grr getting older. She does worry, but not me, it's car drivers. I'd still ride home, deposit lost leg and call an ambulance to A&E.

For me it was the realisation that quite regularly I don't have my phone or my wallet. especially in summer I'll throw on the minimal to stay 'decent' and bugger off out for a ride or a run.
What attracted me to the US version of RoadID was that they do 6 lines of text whereas the UK one does 5

Makes sense, then. I don't go anywhere without my phone and wallet.
