This radar was a gamechanger for me. It gives you confidence on the road so you don't have to constantly turn your head around to look for cars. This is also one of the only products I've ever seen with overwhelming 5 star reviews.

That brand is $130. I'd take the Garmin for $20 more. Lol.

I don't want to make Bezos richer at the expense of the people working in the warehouses who can't even get a reasonable bathroom break.

I realized my old Edge 800 is not compatible with the Varia and I would have to buy a new Edge.

Looks really useful, but I don't want a bike computer or my cell phone on my handlebars all the time. What's the smallest, simplest, cheapest thing you can pair this to such that you get a visual indicator that a car is behind you?

How so? Wouldn't they steal the Garmin taillight and the bike at the same time?
