I would guess so, some have rigged them to a saddle bag and also when road biking when your sprinting you move bike side to side and doesn cause false alarms. You would just need to make sure it's...

You use the varia notification to notify you of car coming up without having to constantly look in a mirror or looking behind which is risky for hitting sticks and potholes. This allows you to relax...

Not everyone has the option of not riding in the street. It is a legal place to ride, so I find that not really a valid option here.
I would also note your example situation (sorry about your...

Or just stop riding in streets? I say that because a friend died, and ever since, I stopped riding in streets. I stick to city trails now.
If a car doesn't see you, and suddenly comes up behind...

I ride an electric scooter so if I get this to attach to the back of my backpack, this hypothetically should work similarly right?

Just echoing what others have said - now that I have one, I feel unsafe without it. Super accurate, though as others have noted, can be a little annoying when it picks up other bikers.
I use it...

They do not fully reduce wind noise, but they definitely reduce some for me, and it is worth it to me, I don’t care how big or dorky they...

It should be noted that only the latest versions, 315 and 515, can be used with a phone. The older versions don't have Bluetooth and relied on ANT.

Here's the reasoning for either:

This right here.
Even before EVs, I’d wager money those saying they could hear well enough or see with their mirrors were nowhere near as safe as they think in their head. Ignoring wind noise, a...

I am in this camp. I do like the combo unit because it’s one less thing to remember to charge, but it’s not life changing. Safety in layers, though.
I think I liken it to the Swiss cheese...
