Ride Alone? Wear RoadID
As many of you know, I ride motorcycles and bicycles. On the bicycle side, I came across a product that’s for everyone who travels alone. The company, RoadID makes a bracelet that will identify you to emergency services if you are incapacitated in an accident. The id bracelet is imprinted with whatever you want. Typically, you’d put your name, drug allergies, medical insurance info, doctor’s name and number, and an emergency contact. What made me think about this was the story of the motorcyclist that was killed on Highway 17. In the crash, his bags came apart and personal stuff was scattered all over the road. It took two or three days before they figured out who the rider was. The story was tragic in so many ways, but it reminded me that making it easier on the emergency services folks could save your life. Last time I checked, the custom imprinted Velcro bracelet will set you back about $20. Visit the RoadID site and check it out: www.roadid.com.
