It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Wait, it can tell how many cars are behind you? That's pretty impressive...

Yes, so on my bike computer the radar will put dots (along with an audio queue) for each vehicle it detects. So, if there are four of them, you'll see four dots at their respective distance from you.

Not only that, but with a third-party app that I can install on my Garmin bike computer, the radar can capture speed data of those passing cars! It's some very cool techn.

Damn, that's pretty cool. I think I might've just figured out what to hint I'd like for a birthday gift this year lol, been wanting to get a Garmin computer for my commuter anyhow...

I love my bike computer. Yes, you don't "need" one, but once you start using the features like navigation, fitness tracking, and have it as a tool to better your health, it becomes incredibly valuable.

I prefer it over using my phone as a navigation device for more than a few reasons 😀

I have a Garmin watch and it's been pretty solid so I'm kinda sold on them as a company between my experience with the watch and the computer reviews.
