Bike Pure partners with SportsTaGID to launch emergency identification bracelet

The guys above comments on Roadid vs Sportstagid. My Friend has the roadid and I have the Sportstag and its night and day difference. The Sportstagid Feels better and you can tell it apart with your eyes closed just on the way it feels. Really!! Yes they both have similar id tags but the roadid has the feel of textured rubber thats right rubber it even says that on their webpage "rubberized watch band".... who wants to wear rubber? Rubber breaks down just like your tires and it changes with time and omits odor. Silicone has a better molecular structure not too mention being lighter. Whens the last time you heard of some babe with a set of rubberized implants! Ok Im off topic and I can hear the laughter but you get the idea. Roadid had a recall on theirs apparently the buckle was failing my friend got an email saying that they are replacing his buckle no charge. My Sportstagid works for me, to each his own.Both products deserve credit here. One thing I did notice My friends roadid appearance has changed over time the band became dished or warped and starting to crack, there is notable difference in wear that is quite suprising must be the rubber. FYI theres nothing original about either of them as this band style and id tag with watch clasp has been around for 10 years as medical id so I am not sure what anyone is getting at here. Kudos to sportstagid as they have done a ton of R&D in what looks to be so simple but actually has been given much thought.Kudos to Roadid for their marketing and creating awarenes. I think its great that Sportstagid and bike pure are working together seems they are creating awareness in professional cycling and all sports trying to remove those who use performance enhancing drugs...cheaters... hats off to both companies, seems unlike most companies they both care about what there doing. I suggest people try products first before making judgement calls based on appearance. Its all good for us consumers. There's lots of carbon bikes that look the same but they all ride differently. Ride safe. Cheers,

If I'm going to be submerged for a week in 20 metres 'of salt and surf' I'm not sure what good the bracelet will be when I'm pulled out. I stuck my Road ID bracelet on my 7 year old daughter last year on the beach and got it back looking like it had suffered road rash on a descent of the Tourmalet - but still readable. Logging your blood group is a little pointless as hospitals will likely ignore it for insurance reasons and pump type 'O' into you anyway if they have to give a infusion in a hurry.

Agree with the previous comment, a more expensive imitation of the original and best Road ID.

Road ID also give a portion of each order to a choice choice of one of 6 charities.

'Additionally, "Road ID Gives Back" is an ongoing program where we donate a portion of every order to one of six excellent causes. This program allows each customer to specify which organization should benefit from his or her order. This program was launched in October 2007 and benefits the following organizations: Arthritis Foundation, Lance Armstrong Foundation, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, National MS Society, Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), the Wounded Warrior Project and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

I'm sorry, i think this is just a copy of the Road ID http://www.roadid.com

I've had one of those for years, plus they are cheaper
