Bike radar

On every ride, SmartSense has your back. Add another bike to compare.

Bike Radar is a very good all around blog covering racing, commuting and recreational cycling. They have a very extensive and in depth review section for bikes, parts, clothing apps and more. I think their lean is more toward the racing side but you should be able to get plenty of information on just about every aspect of biking. October 05, Read More.

I've been doing a fair amount of biking lately, and the one thing I'm always a little concerned about is that some car is going to come up behind me and take me out -- or at least sideswipe me and knock me off the road. Also, Garmin says it integrates with third-party apps such as Ride with GPS to overlay your maps with rearview radar alerts I did not try that, however. You get mounting options for three different seatpost types, so it should fit most bikes each of them mounted vertically to the seatpost of my Giant gravel bike without a hitch. The radar is easy to remove for charging -- it charges via Micro-USB, not USB-C -- but keep in mind that also makes it easy to steal if you leave it on your bike unattended. Battery life for RTL is rated at 16 hours with the light in day-flash mode and 6 hours with it in solid mode. The lightless RVR offers up to 8 hours of battery life. When a car is approaching you from behind, it shows up on your computer as a small icon -- essentially a round blip -- on the side of your screen. And it can identify multiple cars approaching and show them on the screen with their appropriate spacing. It can "see" cars up to yards meters away. With a smaller computer like the Edge , you do have to regularly glance down at the screen to see the cars coming. But often I would see them before I heard them, allowing me to move over to the edge of the road to give them more room to pass me. My brother-in-law is a more serious biker than I am, and I had him try out the RVR because he already had a tail light.
