Safe cycling with Garmin Varia RTL510

Trimarni



Recently we received the Garmin Varia RTL510. I've always felt safe riding my bike on our country roads in and around Greenville as we live in a very bike friendly community where the cars respect the cyclists. But now cycling has become much safer for us. While the roads haven't changed, we can now ride more attentive and aware to the cars around us. 

Sold online at a reasonable price of $199 (check out your local run/bike/tri store to shop locally), here are some of the specs: 
  • Provides visual and audible alerts to warn of vehicles approaching from behi
  • nd up to 153 yards (140 meters) away.
  • Tail light offers daylight visibility up to a mile away and is visible within a 220-degree range, so drivers can see you well before the radar sees the vehicle.
  • Sleek vertical design easily mounts to most road-use bicycles, including racing, touring and commuter styles.
  • Requires a dedicated radar display unit or wirelessly integrates with compatible Garmin devices (sold separately).
  • Battery life: up to 15 hours in flashing mode or 6 hours in solid or night flash mode

    Here is a more detailed review of the Garmin Varia, as well as my video review of the product.
