We don't have a deals thread over here but I got an email this morning telling me that RoadID are having a sale starting the 9th of June.

I'm going to get one of these I think. It's been discussed several times on boards (here and in cycling forum) and I think I will get one. I cycle alone a lot and god forbid anything would happen... Doubt housemates would miss my return... Would be nice for the parents to be called.

Any idea on what the saving will be? Had a quick look on their site and couldnt see any info..

There is 15-60% discount off the range for the next 48hours.

Thanks! Just about to pull the trigger on one... Is the slim vs elite much of a difference?

Also, god forbid you're in a heap on the road, are you more likley to look at a bright orange/green/yellow band than a black?

You're not likely to be looking at anything bar stars in the daytime!! Emergeny responders will usually check for ID so don't worry about it.

I have one of the fabric straps, think the difference is more data lines. Don't put your wife or mother as ICE contact though think how they will react when they get a call, better a brother or close friend who can break the news IMO

My wife was down for ICE on my tags when I got creased by a bus.
Don't see how one of the lads ringing and telling her would help

"Hey Glenda how is the pregnancy going?"
"Okay very tired though and doesn't help that David lost his job on Friday"
"Ah right bad time for Dave to get hit by a bus then?"

If I'd friends that were that empathetic I'd probably not use them either :rolleyes:

A better man would say something like, "well, this could be your lucky day, Dave just got hit by a bus and I know a great lawyer. KA-CHING!!!"

WOW their 'premier sports band' looks like a direct copy of the RoadID....
