Garmin 010-02376-00 Varia RTL515, Cycling Rearview Radar with Tail Light, Visual and Audible Alerts for Vehicles Up to 153 Yards Away

But it doesnt seem to add any value. I ride on a canyon road with small or even non-existent shoulders and have had friends hit by cars here so I was hoping that this would really enhance my safety. I found that it did accurately indicate the existence and approach of cars behind me but that it did so at about the same time that I could hear them. I couldnt see that it added anything that my ears couldnt tell me and if I wasnt monitoring the screen of my Garmin Edge I didnt get any information. I think it is a well made product that does what it claims but I didnt find that it solved a problem. I returned it.

Peut être vu aux autres cycliste qui vous accompagnent à condition d’avoir GPS Garmin

Love it. Only a few rides but a game changer. Know about cars behind you before you can hear them. Know how close they are to you and how many with a quick glance if youre on sketchy roads and cant afford a look back. Great additional safety.

Use it once and you cant go without it ever again.

I saw a video of a rider not doing a lifesaver and then being run over by a truck. I thought to myself, What product would have prevented this incident? and my research led me to this as a solution. This is not a replacement to a lifesaver, but this is additional information which dramatically increases riders awareness of their surroundings. My friends use a camera instead of this, but I feel a camera vs a radar are quite different products for different problems. I, personally, much rather have information to avoid an incident vs a record to take follow-up action (If one is able).

Unit works a advertised, shows when vehicles are coming, light is very bright. Just a little pricey.

I went for my first ride with the Gamin RTL515 today. About a 15-mile loop along gorgeous, curvey Massachusetts back roads around Sudbury. The wonderful lineless backroads inevitably empty out onto higher speed connecting roads, off of which you have often have to take a left to find the next backroad you want to turn on to.

My nephew talked me into this purchase and I am grateful. The device is accurate and reliable, holds enough charge for 6+ hours. When paired with a Garmin 1030 Edge Plus, audio warning is plenty loud.

I have friends who use this and benefited from it so I decided to buy it. WOW, it is amazing, I no longer need to look back as often (I actually never need to but habits are hard to break) with this. It makes me feel more safe albeit does not stop drivers from coming too close....

perfect!!!.. makes me feel more comfortable riding in the bike line
