ID suggestion-
One year the STP organizers gave the riders a small plastic wallet type
pouch with some first aid items in it. I kept this and added a photo copy
of my driver's license and my insurance card. I also keep a few bucks for
coffee stops in it. I tuck it into my jersey every time I ride (per wife's
request).

Also, you can put an address tag on your bike. Best wishes for the injured
cyclist.

Sorry, I can't ID the rider, but this story is a good argument for
purchasing and wearing a Road ID:

Don't leave home without it.

The attached photo is of the victims bike. The owner is in the

OHSU, unconscious.
Please help a fellow cyclist in distress.
PORTLAND, Ore. - An unidentified man is unconscious and in serious
condition
in the OHSU Trauma Center. OHSU social workers have tried
unsuccessfully for
three days to determine the man's identity. Now they are asking the
public
to help.
The man was found lying on the ground with his bike Wednesday, May 4,
in the
afternoon on Southwest Fairmont in Portland's Council Crest
neighborhood.
The injured white male is in his mid-40s and approximately 6 feet
tall. He
weights about 185 pounds and was wearing a biking outfit. He has
balding,
gray hair, but no facial hair.
The man was riding a black Specialized carbon fiber road bike with
yellow
lettering, Allez model, with a red water bottle and yellow-orange
tire pump
attached. Here's a photo of the bike:
"We want to be sure this man has as much support from his family and
friends as possible, but until we know who he is, we can't contact
them,"
said Duff Clingman, OHSU trauma social worker.
If you have any information about the identity of this man, please
contact
the administrator on duty at OHSU Hospital at (503)-494-8311.
