For those that road ride and don't have a radar rear light, the Garmin RTL515 seems be on sale everywhere for $150. Not sure if they have a new version coming out or something. But seems like a good price to me.

My wife has had hers a couple of years and I just picked mine up in August. It's definitely useful to have versus just relying on hearing vehicles approaching.

I have one, and it's worth picking one up if you're a regular road rider. At first I didn't know what to make of it, but now I feel a lot safer once I learned how to trust it and when to have faith in it. It's nice to be able to take a little bit more of the lane and avoid potholes on shoulderless roads near me.

I don't think they have a new version, but they released the RTL3420 or whatever it is with the integrated camera, so they dropped the price of the regular to make it more appealing. There are also starting to be knockoffs out there, but with something so critical, I'm not sure I'd want the risk.
