ID card holder ideas needed

[Taff]

Every morning I need to swipe my ID card to open the car park barrier in work, up to now I've just had the card in my inside pocket and fumble about as I will up to the barrier.
But when it's pissing down with rain and cold and windy I really don't want to be doing that so I need some sort of bag / pot / thing to put my ID card in, maybe attached to the handlebars?

CBF 1000 with proper handlebars rather than clip ons btw.
Keeping the lanyard dry is pretty important so that I don't have a wet neck all day
Any ideas?

A lot of jackets these days come with a wrist/forearm pocket for just this reason - do you have one of them? (are you potentially getting a new jacket this winter?)

As an alternative - tuck the card into the back of your glove (temporarily or semi-permanently - depends on how much you need it outside of this scenario), you could wrap the lanyard around your wrist under the jacket to keep it dry. Might be faffy the first few times, but you'd get used to doing it after a short while.

Get a second lanyard?

Don't use one of the 'string ona spring' things, they wear thin and break.

Or what about something like this, on your wrist:

Get one like bouncers use?

A new jacket is deffo needed but not likely this year, and this is one of the problems. My jacket isn't as waterproof as it used to be so I've got another waterproof one that I wear over the top when it's raining hard, and when I've got this one on as well I hope and pray I'm able to tailgate someone else through the barrier and accept the bollocking, again.

One of those wrist holders look to be easiest when it comes to the barrier, and probably a must have when I do get round to a new jacket

Tell them you want a remote opener for the gate and stick it on the bike somewhere.

It probably opens via text message too, but then you've still got to faff getting your phone out.

A tank bag seems the obvious answer or a tank map holder if you don't want a bag. Failing that people like acerbis make plenty of bar mount bags.

It turns out I had the perfect solution in the garage and all I had to do was engage my little brain


It's a bicycle top tube bag

Ooo now that is an idea

FWIW you can also buy 'leg bags'. I used one on a summer trip to Lake Annecy that involved a lot of motorway tolls. I kept the credit card in there for the tolls, and also my passport for the crossing. Luckily, when I forgot to zip it up the stuff didn't fall out!

When you had to pay £1 to get a bike under the Dartford crossing, a mate used to keep his coin tucked into his knee slider between the velcro layers.
