Keep loved ones safe with this rear light and radar from Garmin. The radar aims to alert cyclists of approaching vehicles of up to 140m away.

The light should last up to 16 hours in flash mode and claims daylight visibility of up to one mile. If you enjoy cycling in a group and don't want to disturb your fellow riders, there's a low intensity flash.
