Gramin Varia RTL515 bicycle radar and light
129€ – Decathlon
Bicycle radar with integrated light whose intensity varies with the distance and approach speed of vehicles approaching behind you.
Integrates perfectly into the Garmin universe (watches and GPS Edge), but also on a phone with the Varia app.

Users (including me) will tell you “Never again without my Varia” because it changes the situation in terms of safety, while skeptics will say “that a 5€ light and a retro do the same job…” . The debate will be endless once again. (announced)
The best example I can give is that the cycling friends I rode with who didn't know bought one not long after seeing in real life the effectiveness of this radar and the power of the light.
Ideal in winter or windy conditions because the radar indicates what is happening 120m behind you with beep/vibration and color code (green/yellow/red), when the wind or the cap covers what our ears can perceive.
Optimizable deal with the 5% Boursorama discount on Decathlon vouchers, among other optimizations, therefore €122.50 for this optimization case.
