I just carry the mobile and cash in a zip lock plastic bag along with muesli bar, tube, pump and puncture repair kit. That's the jersey loaded. Old licence is a great idea though.
When I'm commuting I have the wallet in my back pack.

Short ride: nothing
Medium ride: water, small amount of cash
Long ride: water, cash, credit card, smart rider (if I'm organised, otherwise just cash)
On a long ride I like to buy either choc milk or iced tea, hence the cash

+1. Sometimes I don't carry cash, just my D/L and credit card but yesterday I slipped a tenner in the ziplock bag I put my phone and ID in. Lucky I did, copped a gaping hole in the tyre and puncture - the tenner came in handy as a nice makeshift boot to get me home.Mulger bill wrote:There should always be a fiver tucked away in your saddlebag. If it doesn't come in handy for a phone call, drink or bag of jellybeans at some time, it will eventually come in handy as a get you home fix for a slashed tyre sidewall
I've been meaning to buy a RoadID for a while and one for the missus when she goes out running on her own. We don't carry any ID or phone when we run so the RoadID makes sense.

I've never encountered any other sport, especially one that is so VERY safe, that likes to emphasize planning for sever injury. I partake in many other sports which have higher risks but no other sport plan for severe in such a way.

I carry my phone but just in case it gets broken as well as me I wear a dog tag which has general info engraved on it.

I can't think of too many other sports in which a participant might be injured alone and some distance from anyone who knows who they are.human909 wrote:I find it absolutely bizarre that cyclists feel the need to carry road id.

In fact the stats show that as a pedestrian you are more at risk.

What are some of your many examples? And most pedestrians would be carrying ID...human909 wrote:

Skiing, mountain biking, kayaking, rock climbing, hiking in fact a whole bunch of outdoor sports. Sure often you do that in a group, but often cyclists ride in a group too. Some you might even have a partner but he/she still may not know your identity.Venus62 wrote:What are some of your many examples? And most pedestrians would be carrying ID...
It is bizarre that we have been so indoctrinated by the government that cycling is dangerous that we go to these fairly odd and extreme measures.

I didn't even know the RoadID existed. I'll be getting one. A friend of mine had a heart attack recently. If something happened to me, I want people to know who I am and who to contact.darkelf921 wrote:RoadID for me, as well as a medic alert necklace.

I wouldn't say carrying ID is odd or extreme. You may be asked by a Police Officer at any time (whatever your mode of transport) to produce ID.human909 wrote:Skiing, mountain biking, kayaking, rock climbing, hiking in fact a whole bunch of outdoor sports.

Dunno about skiing but I take part in Kayaking, Rock Climbing, Hiking and Sailing and always carry a P.E.D. (or EPIRB if you wish) which is basically a type of id in case I get into grief in the middle of nowhere.
Mountain Biking is a type of cycling and yes you should carry a P.E.D. or at least a phone if you are going anywhere way out on your own.

I to do a lot of the activities mentioned here. I always make sure I have ID and a phone when at all practical. Better safe than sorry and you never know what might happen to you or someone you come across. Things can turn to poo pretty quickly. Always put in a zip lock bag or pelican case. A failure to plan is a plan to fail. Unless you are racing or competing in your chosen sport look at the extra weight as a training tool. If you only ever need to use it once surely that is enough to justify it.WyvernRH wrote:I wouldn't say carrying ID is odd or extreme.
