I’m looking to get a bicycle radar for my own safety. I like to do a 4-6 week bicycle tour every summer when I can, with days averaging around 9 hours of wheel time (sometimes less, sometimes more).

Does anyone have any experience in touring with a bicycle radar? What gear did you use, how hard was it to keep charged, and what’s the longest you can expect to use it on one charge? How good was it in warning you of approaching vehicles (false positives vs failure to warn in time).

I’d prefer something that has built in taillights just so I’m getting more than one function out of it and that will also make one less thing to have to keep charged. I know I can look up specs online but looking for someone with real world experience as touring is a brutal yet honest test of any equipment’s mettle.

Thank you!
