Garmin’s Varia radar and lights system alert bicyclists of approaching traffic

Bicycling is a great activity for getting into shape but it does require a constant awareness of what is going on around you.

Garmin is setting out to enhance the safety of riders with a new radar system that detects approaching vehicles from the rear. The Varia Rearview Bike Radar and Smart Lights system puts riders in a safer position by alerting both riders and approaching traffic that they will be closing in on each other.
