[Closed] ID tag for cycling

Isn't the default answer, [url= https://www.roadid.com/Common/Catalog.aspx?C=RoadID ]RoadID[/url]?

Thanks Jamie but insufficient space! Includes my name, dob, DNR/organ donor, medical condition, NHS no., ICE and it's full up!

Laminated card in a wallet/purse by far the easiest and most effective way.

I use one from onelifeid which has all the info stored in a QR code. You can update the info yourself, etc. It depends on how confident you are in someone having a smartphone I guess.

wear it all the time ... not sure if the text space is big enough for your
needs ??

Thanks Drac but you haven't seen the state of my backpack! Think women's handbags. 😀 Normally wear the ID around my neck.

These are very good as your details are stored securely on a database rather than printed on the ID. A 24hour phone number and ID reference number is printed on the band so emergency services can phone and find out who you are. Details can be changed when you move house for example and include medical info such as blood types and any specific info...eg if you were diabetic etc.
Annual renewal around a 10er from memory.

My thinking is that wearing it around the neck makes it easy to see and read. I've osteoporosis and would like this to be known in case anyone tries to move me should I fall.

Current tag has 6 lines of info. Not enough!

Use a tag for you main concerns and the card for the rest.

Some sort of tattoo?

Where'd you find my photo Jamie?

Or are using Facebook Messenger to watch me?

You bad man Jamie. 😯

I think Drac's suggestion is a sensible one, thanks. 🙂

Perhaps someone on the front line can correct me, but as far as I am aware no-one first on the scene or in A&E (or similar) will ever base medical decisions based upon info on a tag so there is no need to have space for lots of lines. Name and ICE is more than enough, and I don't think there are any circumstances where more info helps the medics make decisions- better to find your records/ treat the immediate worries asap. As I say, IANAD so am happy to be corrected on this

ICE we don't care about so no need to have it on your bracelet use a laminated card for that. On a bracelet name DOB, which is enough sometime for ICE anyway, allergies and major illnesses is enough.

Handy but not necessary.

better to find your records/

I've opted out of sharing mine.

Edit: I always ride on my own hence being sensible by having ID.

better to find your records

We don't always have immediate access to them.

but as far as I am aware no-one first on the scene or in A&E (or similar) will ever base medical decisions based upon info on a tag

Yes we do.

not the cheapest and not that much room but I'd check if the osteoporosis society or whatever it is called have a recommended wording for the tag or bracelet - that what I did for my youngest who needs specialist care/emergency injection in event of trauma - condition not that common and not readily recognised but the treatment is

you can add as much detail as you like to the database for example I have specific dose details and daughters hospital record number and hospital phone number and on call consultant beep number as well as my contact details but if get right wording and simple should be obvious what concern is

good to hear from Drac - my understanding is professionals will check - some first aiders may forget

doublepost

I use my Blood Donor card (credit card-size / plastic), hole-punched and a lanyard
Embossed name, blood group and donor number and (I assume) NHS accessible
Label on the front / back with info and covered with clear helicopter tape
Not everyone can give blood, but any similar card would do

my understanding is professionals will check

If we have time we will have a quick check or if it's easy to spot. We never try to contact relatives that's the Police's job.

Dogtag .co UK or something like that did me a couple of military style tags which held a lot of info.

I have the RoadID one. When I crashed and was knocked out at velodrome they asked it to call my wife, after they called the ambulance 😆

I avoid this problem by being well known to the local constabulary.

Just go and see your local engraver / sign-maker or Timpsons shop. They will engrave you a tag with whatever you want on it. I can do it on the laser at work if you want..

The one life ID card holds 14 lines of information, you could then hole punch a corner or as it shows on the website put it in a lanyard
