If you\u2019re leaving behind the indoor trainers and getting reacquainted with favorite cycling routes in your area, be sure to brush up on cycling safety tips.<\/p>\n<h3>  1. Make sure you can see other people.<\/h3>\n<p>\t\tThe Varia\u2122 RCT715 rearview radar doesn\u2019t just adjust the intensity of your tail light when it senses oncoming cars \u2014 it also sends visual and audible notifications to your Edge\u00ae cycling computer, select Garmin smartwatches or the Varia\u2122 app on your smartphone to give you a heads-up that a car is approaching. While we hope most drivers are patient with cyclists, this isn\u2019t always the case. The alerts give you the opportunity to judge the car\u2019s position and speed to determine if you need to pull over and give them a little more room to pass. You can even adjust your light intensity and flash behavior to fit the circumstances of your ride. The Varia RCT715 also features a built-in camera that will continuously record the surroundings behind you and, in the event of an incident, automatically save video footage from before, during and after the incident.\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>  2. Make sure other people can see you.<\/h3>\n<p>As nice as it is to close the laptop and hop on your bike while there\u2019s still daylight outside, that\u2019s not always possible in winter months \u2014 if you don\u2019t want to upset your boss by signing off early, that is. It\u2019s always a good idea to wear reflective clothing when you ride, but thanks to the latest advancements in Garmin technology, you can take your visibility to a whole new level regardless of when the sun sets.<\/p>\n<p>The Garmin Varia RCT715 and Varia\u2122 RTL515 radar tail lights can be seen up to a mile away, and the Varia\u2122 UT800 Smart Headlight projects a steady blast of 800 lumens to help drivers coming from the other direction see you from up to one mile away. Accidents happen when people are caught unaware, so the more time others have to see you coming, the more likely it is that your ride will be an enjoyable experience.\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>  3. Know exactly where you\u2019re navigating.<\/h3>\n<p>\t\tNo natural sense of direction? No problem. The latest Garmin Edge GPS cycling computers come equipped with multi-band GNSS, which provides superior positioning accuracy.\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>  4. Stay connected in case of an emergency.<\/h3>\n<p>\t\tGarmin Edge cycling computers offer an incident detection feature that sends a message1 to your designated contacts with your live location if the device detects an incident. You\u2019ll receive a message on your Edge device and paired smartphone letting you know the message to your contacts will be sent within 30 seconds, giving you plenty of time to cancel the automated emergency message if you don\u2019t need help.\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>  5. Follow the rules of the road.<\/h3>\n<p>\t\tTraffic laws are put in place to keep people safe on the road, and they apply to cyclists as well. It\u2019s critical that you obey all traffic signs and signals. Use bike lanes when available and be aware of your surroundings.By following these five simple steps, you\u2019re well on your way to becoming a more safe and more responsible cyclist.
