I never thought it could happen to me

I want to thank a fellow cyclist for telling me about Road ID. I purchased one, never thinking that I would ever need to use it. Unfortunately I was wrong. Recently, I finished work early and rushed home to get a short ride in before calling it a night. As I approached the last turn of my 25 mile ride, I was T-boned by a car and thrown nearly 30 feet across the road. I can remember the pop my helmet made when I slammed into the asphalt. I was terrified, disorientated and could barely move.

Another driver saw what happened, stopped and called 911. When help arrived, I could not respond to the tons of questions that the police and EMTs were asking me. They didn't seem to understand what I was saying. I am so thankful that the EMT noticed my Road ID on my left leg. He quickly removed it and was able to call my boyfriend and obtain important medical information.

I was stabilized and taken to the hospital as a level 1 trauma. The EMT gave the ER doctor my Road ID. She was grateful I wasn't admitted as a Jane Doe. She loved my Ankle ID and commented that she needed to get one for herself.

I can't even begin to say how valuable my Road ID was that night. These little IDs should be required for every athlete! You just don't know if and when it could happen to you.

Update: I was pretty sore after the accident and suffered a lot of bruising, road rash, a nasty concussion, a damaged L5/S1 disc, a pinched Sciatic nerve, strained muscles and tendinitis and contusions to my knee. I'm still in the recovery stage, but well enough to start riding again. Thanks Road ID for the peace of mind you provide me, my family and friends.

"My identification / medical cards were illegible"
I wish I had a Road ID last summer during a rainy century ride. I was riding along when suddenly I slipped on some train tracks going about 22 mph. By the time I was taken to the nearest hospital, I was soaked, filthy, and in mild shock. I carried my medical cards, and other forms of identification, but they had... - Elizabeth T, West Hartford, CT Continue Reading

"My Road ID got me immediate treatment"
I am a professional duathlete living in the western suburbs of Chicago. I was out on a training ride, going about 20 mph through a neighborhood that is known to be "cyclist friendly". Suddenly a driver – on a cell phone – backed right out of a parking space in front of me. I hit the back of the SUV and proceeded to bounce... - Guy P, Westmont, IL Continue Reading

"I was left lying in the middle of the road"
Long story short, I was out for a Friday ride, when a truck blew through a stop sign, throwing me in the air and destroying my newly built up Cannondale CAAD9 road bike. The driver didn't even stop to check on me. He fled the scene leaving me in the middle of the road. Luckily a passer by came to the scene, and... - Damon A, Indianapolis, IN Continue Reading

"I heard the EMTs access my emergency profile"
Well, that moment we "road bikers" dread, happened to me on Saturday. To make a long story short, my back wheel got caught in a railroad track as I was crossing it at 18 mph, and...you can guess what happened next. After that, I regained awareness only twice- once in the ambulance for a few minutes, then later... - Patrick M, Lockport, NY Continue Reading

"My Road ID spoke for me twice!"
My Road ID spoke for me twice last summer when I was in a bike accident. I was out riding along a local route, when a car turned directly into me. I hit hard, sliding over the trunk and then sliding another 8 feet on gravel. When the emergency responders arrived, I was conscious, but not really 'with it'. They got all my information... - Sara Z, Pottstown, PA Continue Reading
