    They deliver internationally, regular first class to the class to the UK is $2.49 according to the site and if you order today should arrive by Christmas. You can pay more for faster delivery. Also if you get the interactive ID then the freephone number is international too.

    yep, they deliver worldwide.
    Worth having, especially if you ride on your own.

    Many moons ago my Dad used to own a jewellery shop and he sold quite a few variants of that. Try any shop along these lines maybe.

    Personally, I just put my drivers licence in my pocket with the phone.
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    There's a similar thread in commuting. A set of military dog tags will cost you about a fiver. Here's one site, but there are lots more, or your local army surplus shop may sell them.

    Drivers license is good but my Road ID has emergency contact details, blood group and a comment saying I have a naturally low heart rate and no medical allergies. All information that could make a difference if the worst happens. I just hope that by wearing it I'll never need it so I don't ride without it.

    Fair point.

    Try Googling "emergency medical cards".

    Not as cheap as the above but plenty of solutions.

    northernneil,

    Ordered one the other day, it was received within a week from RoadID. I ordered the sporty one not the rubber one; it gives me that extra piece of mind when I'm out on my own. It's all very well carrying a card, but will 'they' find it, and bit whilst it's good to have an ICE number in your phone, who’s to say the battery will work when you need it?

    It's a class product, with top notch customer service, and

    Try searching eBay for something like "pill holder"
    http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=pill+holder

    Just print out whatever emergency info you want on small strips of paper, roll them up and insert them into the holder. Cheap, waterproof, can be used on a keyring, round yer neck, attached to a saddle or wotevvah.
    I may be a minority of one but that doesn't prevent me from being right.
