Echoing feedback from others but this thing has been a game-changer for me and I wouldn't want to ride without it. Having awareness of cars behind me without having to look back constantly allows me to ride with more confidence.

And, I can use a bit more of the road without having to hug the shoulder the entire time. The radar has never missed an oncoming car and picks them up further in advance than I can hear them approaching.

Awesome product and if you are like me and debating getting one because it feels like a "nice to have" I'd go ahead and pull the trigger. Definitely in the "essential product" category for me now.

This is a must have if you own a compatible device. Totally accurate and can save your life. Best cycling related purchase I've ever made. Price is lower than I've seen ever too. There is another without the light, which does work, but would advise to get this one with it.
You can also use it with your phone, you can either use the Varia app or use it with Ride With GPS like I do.

Same here. Tried to apply ANNIV22 to my REI cart and got a response "Your cart doesn't contain at least 1 qualifying coupon item."

Quote from roysha :
Yep it's $399, shorter battery life (if using the camera, which is the whole point of that model), more bulky, different/unique mount (if that matters to you), and the camera functionality leaves a LOT to be desired it sounds like...check out DC Rainmaker's thorough and thoughtful review that just came out for more info: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2022/...eview.html

As for the Varia 515 from this deal (radar + light), I've had it for a little over a year and absolutely love it. Got mine on a sale for $160 in March 2021, and would happily pay that even today; at $150 for the current deal, it's a must-buy if you're even remotely interested in a cycling radar.

I agree. I bought the RTL515 at discount and still happy about that. Don't really need the cam

Did it work in-store only or were you able to do it online? Right now it's getting denied for me.

It worked earlier for me online, but I noticed that earlier today the code was also working on a lot of things it probably shouldn't have been working on.

The promo was supposed to only be for full priced items, so they must have fixed that loophole.

Anyone who rides on roads should own one of these. Having the knowledge of cars coming up behind you is indispensable. It gives you the necessary heads up to assume control of the lane if it would otherwise be dangerous for the vehicle to pass or when you need to take a left turn.

I will also vouch that it pairs and works extremely well with Wahoo computers.

Damn, well good job getting in there. I chatted with a rep and they confirmed the code doesn't (or shouldn't, anyways) work on discounted items.

FWIW, I'm probably going to pull the trigger anyways. Safety is one of those things I'm ok with spending some money on.

Available at Amazon and REI at the same price amongst other places from what I understand.

Is this device useful for urban riding, or moreso on less traveled country roads?

Better for country roads, but I use mine in New York City. Not as helpful on the busier streets, but helpful on less frequented ones.

Here is a low tech solution that works well for me: Bike Peddler Take A Look Cycling Eyeglass Mirror https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C17...UTF8&psc=1
I attached mine to my helmet.
