Most of my rides these days I can ride 30 miles and get overtaken by 2-3 cars. I never go out without the Varia and a mirror. The Varia keeps me aware when I might be complacent because of the lack of traffic and the mirror lets me know what is behind me without taking my eyes off the road. When I get a visual/auditory alert from my Wahoo roam then I check my mirror to see what is behind me and what that means for the road conditions and what I might need to do. Both tools promote situational awareness while I'm riding.
