Products I LOVE – Qride Inc. – Brilliant Idea!


I recently came across a product produced by Qride Inc.: An emergency ID that uses a QR code in order to access your emergency information. It can be placed on your helmet or bike or anywhere for all types of situations like cycling or snow sports. As described by the company,

QRide advanced emergency IDs utilize QR codes to link to your very own Online Emergency ID Record. If you are ever in a situation where you are unconscious or disoriented and can’t tell your medical story, anyone with a smartphone can scan your QRide and get the important medical information that you want them to know!











If you are new to QR codes, they are popping up everywhere from magazine pages to product boxes. You simply download a free QR reader app on your smartphone and your phone scans the QR code to access your emergency information.

What a great idea! I would never remember to wear an ID bracelet but with this it would already be attached to my helmet when I’m out cycling. You can order one at http://www.myqride.com. 

The creator, Warren Schimizzi of Roanoke, VA, came up with this great idea! He realized his wive would forget her ID bracelet when biking alone and thought she needed some type of emergency information but not one that plastered your name for everyone to see. This was a perfect solution! The little code holds all the information in case of an emergency and your name won't be visible for EVERYONE to see. Nice idea and very affordable. Thanks for this great product!
