Serious question: How does the radar alert you to a car? Do you also need a Garmin Computer? Phone with an App? Does it buzz or something?
I currently don't ride with anything on my handlebars (other than spurcycle bell and and a headlight)....I have an app on my phone that tracks routes, speed, HR, etc, but the phone goes in my pocket during a ride....
I am trying to understand how I would incorporate a Varia into my riding, and not make all the other stuff required distracting....
Maybe Oakley needs to come out with the augmented reality glasses that take a feed from the Varia and other bike computer stuff.
