Cycling ID

[hullbilly]

Bit of a gloomy subject but what do people do for ID when out and not carrying their wallet or phone?

I often ride without my phone or wallet as I dont need them and the phone only goes off anyway!

I carry my phone and wallet.

I occasionally have the same thoughts about being out running, haven't yet done anything about it. Most running and cycling kit has at least a coin pocket so a small piece of laminated card with emergency contact details on it might be a good idea. I'd make my own rather than paying anyone for it.

I haven't got one yet, but these look a good idea:

Normally carry my phone and a debit card, mainly to get me home should I break something. For ID purposes, photo-card driving licence is probably the easiest isn't it?

These days my phone, switched off and carried in an armband holder. Previously I used to have a sticker inside my helmet with name & phone contact details.

If you dont need a wallet and phone you definately dont need contact details

I never leave home without the holy trinity of phone / wallet / keys

Or just get some dog tags

That looks absolutely spot on, nice and cheap too!

When I go out on a long run, my wife likes me to take a Cram tag. Google it! But I'm sure she will find the life insurance without it if I keel over or get splatted!!

Had one of these for a year now. Good quality and prices seem reasonable for a little peace of mind that if I'm not able to communicate for whatever reason then folks can get the right details to get me looked after.

I put a self adhesive address label inside my helmet.

I have used these which seem to be lasting well considering the amount of time I spend wearing them. Got a couple for the kids too.

Iv got 2 roadid's (Diabetic, so need something if i collapse), they are pretty decent

I know my driving licence number, my NI number, all my bank account numbers and can tell you a list of cars registered to me going back to the eighties, I don't need ID

I always carry a phone and some sweetie money though, just in case

Can you recite them when unconscious?

I don't wear a helmet, I'd be dead

(And the phone has an ICE number in it )

I always carry a phone with me, mainly for logging route / elevation but should the worst happen and you're stuck in a ditch somewhere with a broken leg, it might be a while before someone else comes past.

Exactly the same as me! I sometimes take a bank card or a note incase I need to stop for anything.
