[Grovenet] Fwd: Wear ID when bicycling!

[Cecelia Warner]

It's true, necklaces aren't for everyone. Bracelets works too. Or the  
buttock tattoo I just read about. Subcutaneous microchip, anyone?

I want to add another point to my previous posting: consider NOT  
carrying your wallet with you for ID. There is such a thing as a  
"bike jacking" where the rider is intentionally knocked off the bike,  
robbed and the bike is stolen. I ride with a hip pack (again, not for  
everyone) in which I carry some cash and a credit card (as well as a  
first aid kit. I'm a very cautious rider).  Most bike jerseys have  
pockets in the back to carry an "alternative wallet."
