At least when I go cycling I won't leave home without it.  Last year I came across an add for a product that sounded pretty cool and figured it was worth sharing with others.  I came across RoadID last year and finally just got around to ordering one.  Pretty simple idea actually, an ID band or tag with critical information in the event something bad happens while you are out exercising.  We like to think nothing will happen to us, but the reality is we don’t have a lot of control over the other people out there rushing from point A to B in their cars.  I’ve had my fair share of close passes from cars and trucks, each time thankful they just missed me.  I always carry my cell phone and drivers license with me, but there is no guarantee those would help in an accident.

So my advice if you are an avid runner, cyclist, %INSERT ACTIVITY HERE% give some thought to a RoadID.
