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

This is one of the best bike accessories I every bought. Used it for the first time today, integrated with my Ride With GPS app on my iPhone - total peace of mind. I was able to focus on my riding without stressing over whats coming up behind me. The audible alerts and the approaching vehicle display on my iPhone gave me plenty of notice. The unit is very reliable, and I can say this is a no-brainer investment in safety.

This device is a game-changer for riding safety, especially in suburban or even rural areas. I won’t go without this device, tout it all the time to my cycling buddies who are starting to get this device. It’s not a gimmick! It accurately depicts each vehicle approaching from the rear, showing at a glance how far away and how fast each is approaching, while generally ignoring “false positives” of fellow cyclists who you are riding with.

Love this radar. Works very well. I use it with a Garmin Edge Explore. I love the integration. The light on the back is a nice feature. You can even get an app that works with the Garmin to see the battery life remaining and control the light on the unit. The rubber band that holds the unit on the seat post I feel could be stronger, but so far has worked well. I’ve only had the unit for a few weeks. I hope it won’t stretch out in the future. I’m looking into purchasing a bracket I see by another vender that connects to the back of the seat. Looks like a much stronger way to hold the unit. A little bit of a pain moving the included bracket to another bike as the rubber band flys off and I have to make several attempts to get the band on correctly. Don’t get me wrong it’s still a great unit and I only mentioned these minor issues and it’s only my opinion. It’s still deserves the 5 stars.

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

For a long time I avoided riding on the road because I didn’t want to become a hood ornament for a distracted driver. I mostly stuck to mountain biking but I really didn’t ride that much which was a huge bummer. Then I went for a ride with a buddy who had the older version of this and raved about it. Now I’m that guy who raves about it.

Thank you so much

I love having the radar unit telling me when a car is approaching - I feel much more secure.

Lo voy probando, y está genial. Te va avisando cuantos vehículos vienen detras de ti. Lo recomieno

Excellent device. Very accurate. It’s a must have security device, especially in country roads. The battery is a real problem. It will only last about 5 hours, so be prepared to carry a “paper weight” if you are on a long ride.
