I’m so glad I gave my brother a Road ID!

This past Christmas I gave my two brothers, who are also riders, Road ID gift certificates. I previously bought one for myself and thought it was a great idea...especially since we don't carry ID or our wallets when we ride. Last Sunday, my brother was in a group ride and a rider fell behind him. He stopped and rode around to check on the fallen rider. In the chaos his front wheel slipped while trying to hop on the sidewalk.

He went down hard.

As soon as he hit the sidewalk, he knew he had a fracture. He waited for more than 20 minutes for Fire/Rescue to show, laying on the ground and not moving at all.

When Fire/Rescue arrived, he was conscious, but handed them his Road ID so that they could contact his family. When I went to see him at the hospital later that day, he told me about how his Road ID was helpful. He also imformed me that he lost track of his ID after he handed it to the medics.

Considering the type of fall, my brother's injuries were pretty serious. Javi experienced a compound fracture of his right radius and a dislocated elbow. The surgeon was able to set the elbow, but the arm required a plate and screws to immobilize it.

It's funny, even though Javi was in pain and had a huge temporary cast on his arm, he was still concerned that his bib shorts would get damaged during surgery prep. So my other brother and I borrowed some scissors, cut his jersey and undershirt and were able to slip off his bibs without a scratch. Then, we dressed him in the fashionable hospital gown. When I reached to get the gown from behind the bed, what did I find? His Road ID.

In his words: I'll never ride without it!

"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
