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

I initially assembled this to my bikes seat stem, but it only worked inconsistently, sometimes not sensing cars coming up behind me at all... However, when I fixed it to the back of my bike helmet - up high and with no interference, it worked perfectly 100% of the time. Im amazed how accurate it is, and it signals me of approaching cars sometimes before I even see them in my mirror. Best safety gear I ever purchased for my long bike rides.

Literally the best thing ever to purchase if you want to start getting into cycling! Works well with my wahoo and haven’t had any issues with it! Can’t go without it!

Bought into the entire Garmin system just to run this light/radar and am very pleased with it. A few of my riding buddies have also purchased this unit and I cant imagine riding without it. Takes a bit of getting used to at first with little surprises like a sudden alert when you riding partner sprints past you but for the most part just works (which is unusual for a Garmin product honestly). I do wish battery life was a bit better but Ive not yet run our of charge on a longish ride. Ive had to re-sync/join the bluetooth twice now for unknowable reasons... The interface is one button and frankly I have no idea what Im doing regarding this thing. I should probably read the manual. Sometimes when I take it off the bike after a stopping ride it just shuts itself off, sometimes it seems to keep blinking this blue light and ends up drained on the counter. But generally as long as you plug it in as soon as you get home it will be ready for the next ride. I also really, really hate the micro-usb connector and wish Garmin would upgrade to a better connection. Its very difficult to plug this thing in without decent lighting. For all the complaining though this thing is amazing and has zero competition or comparable alternatives. It is also well supported at this point by all the major bike computers and this particular model can even pair with your phone for use with apps like RideWithGPS and others. A benchmark and standout product that I would never ride without.

I live in a rural area and ride mostly on county roads. Since cars can sneak up and become dangerous quickly, this rear looking radar is a life saver. It works well and integrates flawlessly with the “Ride With GPS” app on my iPhone. I will never ride without one again! ~$200 is cheap insurance.

This is a must have for anyone who rides on roads that get busy from time to time. The accuracy is excellent

Accurate. And give you a pice of mind while you ride . Is good to know a car is coming and how fast is coming , when will

works just as described. Its very chatty in the city, will constantly beep at you, but out in the country, the best is to just take over the entire lane, when when the garmin beeps, move to the side to give cars a chance to pass.

Excelente

This gives me a lot more confidence when out for ride in town or country. The radar is very accurate and shows all cars approaching on my Bryton Rider 750. Not sure how I managed without it. Its quite expensive but in my opinion I couldnt ride without it now. Keep your eyes open for alternative manufacturers products coming on the market soon at much lower prices.

Unable to use mount hardware for the seat post. Have a rear mount trunk bag
