ROAD ID Member Survey
Everyone said the Road ID was comfortable to wear and provided much peace of mind.
Ownership was about equally split between chain, ankle and wrist
styles. Fewer had the shoe style. People who have shoe style like it
because you don’t have to remember to put it on. The wrist style was
also recommended and can be used a watch band. Some people didn’t want
two bands on their wrist so recommended the ankle style, which is also
fully reflective — but said if you get the ankle style, remember to
check and make sure you’re not turning in your Road ID instead of your
timing chip at the end of a race! Others liked the chain style because
it’s ‘stylin,’ especially with the LA Tri logo. One person replaced the
metal chain with a soft cord for silence and comfort. Some people had
more than one. (Which seems a less expensive form of indulging our
common propensity for multiple equipment acquisition than having more
than one bike, but still impressive....)
It was recommended to use all six lines and to include your name, any
drug allergies, emergency names and contact #s, your doctor’s name and
phone # and blood type. I’m also going to include the name of my
medical insurance carrier and their #.
In case this has prompted your desire to buy one ( as it has mine) but
you’ve trashed Brian Morel’s email on the subject (heaven forfend),
here’s his instructions:
