Overall, this Garmin Varia RTL515 radar increases the safety of the cyclist in a nice way. The rear light allows you to be seen from quite a distance, even in broad daylight, and the radar allows you to “see” a car approaching from behind, sometimes even before hearing it. On the other hand, you must be careful not to pay too much attention to the screen and its alerts, otherwise you risk no longer being focused on what is happening in front of you.

Offering an excellent service/price ratio, the Cosmo Ride is a highly recommended connected accessory for cyclists and scooter users. Simple to install and use, responsive and offering good visibility, it can still be improved on a few points, notably the ergonomics of the controls or the guidance of the user through the application.
