So when I see deals for products for them I don't fully understand, I keep my mouth shut.

On another note, i also use the Wahoo Elemnt Bolt as my bike computer. It's selling for ~$230 nowadays but will occasionally go on sale for ~$200 or slightly less. It's great and is far superior (especially for navigation) to the Gamin 130 (obviously it's more expensive, but imo money well spent).
The head unit in this offer is basic, but the radar is a game changer...

Regarding the deal, wish there was a sale on the tail light too! Been waiting for one.
The RTL510 went on sale a few months ago for $144 and I'd strongly recommend holding off for the RTL515 or RTL510 instead.
Additionally, I don't think the changing pattern on the flashing light is useful. As a driver I've never paid any attention to the pattern of the flashing light on bicycles, so a regular flashing light is probably just as good. Now, you're right, it may help alert others you're riding with. But, I don't know how I feel about others relying on my equipment for safety.
So yeah, I've pulled the trigger on both the computer and radar on this deal. I'm a weekend warrior cyclist, but I've grown tired of squinting at my phone and worrying about battery life.

Also I'm primary a solo rider and try to ride lower traffic roads but many can be 55mph and scary when a pack of brodozer trucks. I bought a aero sprint tech mirror for my left bar end but not tried yet, I feel like Im always looking over my shoulder causing me to hit potholes and almost crash, plus those hybrids and tesla's can scare the crap out of you..
yeah think I just talked myself into a Rvr315, $100 is cheaper than becoming roadkill..

Now that I've switched, its nice not having your phone in your face on a ride. Its tough keeping yourself from looking down to see who texted or emailed you. Also, the computer has limited controls and big buttons its easy to find while you're rolling, as opposed to a touchscreen. On the other hand, if I'm just out exploring and want to look up a destination, or see where I am on a map, the phone wins every time, and I always end up getting it out to supplement the computer.
And to all the salty gatekeepers in this thread, you know when you're a real cyclist? When you like cycling. Happy riding.
