Extra safety on the road Must Have

By: on 5 October 2020
The RTL515 warns you of approaching Vehicles before you can see them in the mirrors (I've been using "Italian Road Bike Mirrors" for the last 10 years), Great because you can't always hear the vehicles approaching, I also have a rear mounted Gopro which has recorded vehicles Deliberately targeting cyclists in the on road bike lane and Vehicles using the bike lane as an extra lane. Lights are Bright (4 settings + Radar only), I'm using my RTL515 with the Edge 530. Cost is a small price to pay for extra safety, Very Happy.
