Samsung/android phone, so you can still dial ’emergency’ numbers from the address book from the lock screen.

You can also put contacts into the ICE group and they will appear in the contact list if someone presses the Emergency Call button. Problem is they have to be aware that they can do this and to press the contact button.

The lock screen text is handy but it gets replaced by “Connect your charger” when the battery gets low.

From my experience, doctors couldn’t get into my phone which was PIN locked by policy thanks to work, and then the battery ran out. I was carrying a donor card though which had next of kin on it.

I really must get a decent contact thing though or dog tag.

Other thing is to just let people know where you’re going. Though I do like sometimes just buggering off on my own, getting lost somewhere and having an explore.

Just ordered a RoadID. Meant to do it ages ago and forgot so this thread prompted it.

I do ride a fair bit on my own so seems an obvious thing to make sure I have with me.

Added my name, dob and ICE numbers with the DRemel.

I also tell people where I going and have the nearest Postcode for the general location. Thats in my bag and on the noticeboard at home.

Another top top try to be aware of the woodland you in and know the proper name.

EDIT

Longer chain, I dont need it 😉

Laminate a card with your personal details on plus any allergies or illnesses.

If you’re in a messed up way we’ll be too busy to look straight away but the Police might rummage through or once you’re at hospital we might look.

Phones break as do those bracelet things they snap off. A bit of laminated card is fairly robust and you can do loads in one go so have a few.

Friend of mine was out cycling & had a stroke, fell off couldn’t work out why & couldn’t get back on his bike, someone gave him a lift but thought he was right weird & dropped him off fairly sharpish, managed to get back to his car & drive himself to hospital 😯 where the only method of identifying him was for the police to find out who his car was registered to

personally i don’t worry about id very much, the scenario is fairly likely & unless you have medical issues then medics are gonna treat you same as anyone else with or without id ing you first

And just to reinforce the message:

I tend to carry bank card and the plastic part of my driving licence, as well as a phone – if I can’t be identified from that lot, I think it’s unlikely any other form of ID would help…

Used to carry my wife’s business card, then I crashed and gave it to the people who helped me – I really should put another in my wallet…..

Yeah, I can’t see the problem. I’m sure I’d turn up sooner or later.

a good reason to have id at all times,
