ID on Road and/or Trail...

[klutch]

You can go to DMV and get a boat licence or just a state ID card and it's like 5-10 dollars...just my 2 cents

I've been riding on the road for about 6 years now and mostly by myself. I started carrying my cell phone which came in handy when I ran out of spare tubes once. I have my parents number listed under "parents" so somebody can call them should I be unconscious. I wear a road ID with the obvious info plus my blood type. A good practice is to always know the name of the road you are on in case you have to call 911. I always carry some cash too. I'm considering carrying pepper spray after a couple of confrontations with some very nasty drivers, but I'm still undecided.

The only reason i got a road bike was to hunt matchy-matchies and i think the 98-99% is off. I've only gotten my ass handed back to me twice in maybe 50 attempts.By the way i carry the phone(turned off,Norm),and text most rides in and out to somebody.The problem is that even in a group i'm usually the only one who knows the trail so if i lose conciousnous I'm pretty much dead anyway...........................

Man, you ought to grow up. If you drove a 'stang, would you also race at every red light?

Do you call bushwhacking "knowing the trail"?

You don't need an ID, you need a leash, like those kids at the mall.

He's not really upset.He prolly road rides in baggie camos!If i had a stang i'd be going somewhere to do something not bored outta my mind on this skinny tire so pestering others makes it fun.I also knew where i was within 100' and i DO NOT BACKTRACK so bushwhack it was and goth chicks on leashes are HOT!! All hail the Suicide Girls!!

Questioning my trail knowledge is just complete lunacy but I'll just let it slide cause Mo is such a good guy(and fun to chase).He's just bitter cause he's short..........................................................and he prolly misses

ID: Don't carry it, but there's no good reason not to. I like the pet shop dog tag idea. I may do that myself.

Phone: Started carrying it about 2 years ago. Always have it with me, road or mtb.

Waving at other riders: I'm a full-on matchy-matchy, but my feeling is that I'm stoked that others are out riding their bikes. I wave and or/say hello to everyone I encounter, regardless of clothing, bike, pace, or whatever.

And I do tend to wonder what is up with those who can't muster some sort of reply. I figure they must be "training" and can't be bothered to lift a hand or grunt. Or they're just antisocial, which is their prerogative, but seems like a bummer to me.
