Keeps me safe on a bike. I know when a car is approaching

I cant believe I slept on this for so long, it works really well! I get an accurate count of the number of cars behind me along with their relative distance and speed. The integration with the Edge head units is great, it beeps quite loudly when a new vehicle is detected (even if there are already vehicles its tracking) and is unintrusive to the data display (I have 8 fields on my main screen). Would recommend this to anyone that does any riding in traffic, even in low traffic to get to/from a group ride (which is mostly me!), the safety aspect is fantastic — by knowing when cars are coming, and how fast and how many, I can start to turn my head to track them to ensure theyre not endangering me, and prepare to take evasive action if needed.

Walking my dogs in parks with trails shared by bikes is very hazardous for my dogs, especially since I let them have some freedom with retractable leashes. Most cyclists dont warn you they are approaching until they are almost passing you, with possible harm to the dogs and startling the stuffing out of you.. I mounted mine to a base (a tupperware lid) using the screws already holding the mount to the unit. I put a cord to each side of the lid and wear it around my neck like a large medallion, only facing towards the rear between my shoulder blades. Now with the app on my phone, I get a notification sound if cyclists or even other walkers, joggers or runners are approaching in time to reel in my dogs and make room for them to pass safely without the nasty shock of a last second warning from them.

The device pairs easily with Garmin cycle GPS, like adding a sensor. Picks up approaching cars well before I can see them In my mirror. Also has dots for each vehicle, and colors indicating relative speed they are approaching. Really nice for ride riders.

Works great and charges fast

As ardently as serious cyclists monitor the road ahead, we’ve always been vulnerable to what’s coming up from behind. And with today’s distracted motorists, we are in greater danger than ever of being run over by someone who “just didn’t see him.” Incredibly, this excuse still gets inattentive drivers off the hook after they have killed a cyclist in broad daylight. Despite more of us wearing helmets and dressing in bright colors, cycling fatalities are steadily rising.

This is the one cycling item Ive recently purchased which I will no longer ride without. The awareness it gives you when cars are approaching from behind is amazing. It lets you know how many are coming up and if theyre coming up fast or slow. It saves you from having to always look over your shoulder to see if the coast is clear. Well worth the money.

Es muy sencillo de operar y emparejar. Lo utilizo con un Wahoo Elemnt Bolt y aunque con este ciclocomputador no funciona el ajuste automático de la intensidad de la luz, la función de radar es muy buena y útil en carretera. En la banda izquierda aparece una franja que indica cuando algo se aproxima además de generar una alerta visual con los leds superiores y una alerta sonora.

This radar device works exactly as described and is very helpful when riding, particularly the warning noise, so why only four stars? Unfortunately, mine did not show a charging light when charging. I was able to return it and receive a refund without any problem at all, which is good. So five stars for the customer service. I have ordered another one. It is a very useful safety device.
