My RoadiD

Accidents happen. It may happen when you least expect it and when you are unprepared. Minor accidents can leave you sprained or wounded but major accidents can be much worse.

When unable to provide vital personal information, rescuers may not be able to manage you properly during emergencies. Name, age, address, home phone number or other contact information are needed when accidents strike. Relatives need to be informed and the hospital needs crucial information like allergies and blood type.

During training, I carry a school ID for security. I slip it inside my pouch or pocket when I run or bike. Despite its size, it can be cumbersome. Then a friend showed me his RoadiD. It’s a bracelet with all your vital information engraved in a metal plate. He ordered his RoadiD online at www.roadid.com for $20-$30 (depending on the design). The best thing about it is that they ship worlwide at a very cheap fee.

After choosing which design I want, I ordered. My roadiD arrived a little late than expected since I addressed it to my province address. But it never bothered me since roadiD owners or management have excellent customer service. I emailed them my concern and they were very prompt in their reply. They were more worried than I was regarding my late order. When I got my bracelet I was ecstatic. They were neatly done and they looked really durable.

For security, I now wear my roadiD everytime I run and cycle outdoors. I also tried wearing it during our open water swim training and they were perfect. For a  runner, cyclist, swimmer, mountaineer, triathlete or any multi-sport individual, the roadiD is not only an accessory. It’s a necessity.

Security is what roadiD offers. Peace of mind at a cheap cost.
