Start a Fitness Plan Safely with Road ID

Erlanger, KY (Vocus/PRWEB ) November 12, 2009 -- Shorter days and wintry weather make January a tough time to start a fitness program, but having the right gear can help. Road ID offers several suggestions and affordable products to help protect walkers, runners and cyclists this winter.
| | - Add reflective strips to workout clothes, shoes, helmet and other gear to increase visibility. The Firefly High-Viz Stickpak ($4.99) available from Road ID includes strips of durable, 3M Scotchlite™ reflective material that sticks to most surfaces.
- Wear identification at all times. For the last decade, experienced runners, walkers and cyclists have worn Road ID gear with their name and emergency contact information when they work out. The stylish new Wrist ID Elite™ ($29.99) makes wearing ID more convenient than ever, because it never needs to be taken off. The sleek rubberized band and wristwatch-style closure look good enough to be worn at the office, too.
- Maintain an online medical profile that’s easy to access. In case of an accident, an Emergency Response Profile (ERP) offers first responders allergies, blood type, health insurance information and other vital details. An ERP can be added to any Road ID gear for free the first year. Additional years of membership are $9.99.
- Clip bright, battery-operated lights to waistbands, belts or collars. The Firefly® Supernova ($12.99) can be seen by drivers from up to a mile away. The brightest, lightest and most durable security light in its class, the Supernova has a durable plastic clip and comes complete with batteries.
- Wear neon-yellow reflective accessories. Belts, wristbands and ankle bands provide 360° of visibility. Road ID offers several types of durable neon gear that also include reflective strips to make athletes easier to see in all hours. Belts ($12.99) are fully adjustable. Wrist bands and ankle bands are sold in pairs ($9.99).

Road ID is working with professional athletes around the world to increase awareness and safety for endurance athletes. Professional cyclist Levi Leipheimer wore Road ID gear while racing in the Tour de France, and world champion triathlete Craig Alexander wears Road ID wristbands during Ironman® competitions.
“We want to make wearing ID during workouts as common as wearing a bike helmet,” says Edward Wimmer, who founded Road ID with his father 10 years ago. “Top athletes recognize the need, and are working with us to spread the word with beginners and amateurs, as well.”
