Road ID for 2012/BAHC Fundraiser

Thank you for supporting safe biking in Howard County. In case you haven’t recently visited the BAHC website, <a href="http://www.BikeHoCo.org">http://www.BikeHoCo.org</a>;, we wanted to make you aware of our new fundraisering effort with Road ID - the foremost emergency ID products for cyclists, triathletes, and runners. Through a partnership with Road ID, BAHC is offering their innovative products to the community with a portion of your purchase going as a donation to support the BAHC goals of:

* Working with the County to develop a Howard County Bicycling Master Plan
* Supporting physical road improvements (paving, better shoulders turn lanes, 'Share the Road' sign, etc.)
* Fostering driver and bicyclist education and communication initiatives
* Functioning as local bicyclists link with HC Police, Public Works and other local Government

Many of you may have changed insurance this year or contact information or never had a Road ID before. Whether you order through BAHC or not carrying some form emergency identification is essential – ask any of us who have been in accidents. While their products are designed to keep athletes safe Road IDs also make great gifts for those with medical condition, kids and older adults.
