@lehtimaeki I am sure there is a second hand market for older models.

Yeah, there's a big problem with the previoud Garmin model.. micro-USB

@lehtimaeki The biggest issue with Garmin Varia is it doesn't detect one car immediately behind another car approaching you from the rear.

This can add a danger to the cyclist if the cyclist were to trust Varia alone, and without an additional quick look over the shoulder, move further out into the road, which increases the chance of collision with the second car.

In short, Varia cannot be a replacement for checking over your shoulder to see what's behind you.

Yeah, I guess depending on tech alone can be really dangerous.
