Thankfully, I was wearing my Road ID!

To be honest, I never wanted to have my own Road ID story to tell. I was just seven weeks from Ironman CDA, when I was doing a track workout at about 10PM. Hey, you've got to get the training in whenever you can. It was totally dark. As I ran the last lap of my last interval, I stepped off the inside of the track. I went flying head first and hit the ground hard. The crunching and popping sounds I heard turned out to be my left shoulder being severely dislocated. Oh sure, I tried to throw it back into place (just like in the movies). A very, very bad idea. Even more pain. What now?

I had to ask a stranger for a ride. By the time I got to the hospital emergency room, all the muscles in my shoulder and back were in spasm. Just breathing sent stabs of pain through my body. I could barely walk upright. Once inside, the ER nurse asked me a flurry of questions: name, phone, address, known allergies, etc. I struggled to answer her questions in the fog and fear of the moment. So I pulled my Road ID off my ankle, handed it to the nurse, and slumped into the wheelchair.

The good news is that after seven weeks of intensive rehab, I was still able to compete and finish the Ironman in 14:06. Thanks Edward and Mike for providing that added bit of security every time I head out the door!

"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
