Vehicle Reports

See radar-reported vehicles and their approximate rearward distance while the app is active.

Ride Sessions

Optionally save an outdoor cycling workout to Health when you start and stop a bike ride.

Connection Memory

The watch remembers the last selected radar and attempts to reconnect when it becomes available.

Sample Traffic

When no radar is connected, an animated sample display lets you explore the interface.

Privacy First

Radar data is processed on the watch. Biking Radar has no accounts, ads, analytics, or developer servers.

Compatibility

The current release supports the Varia™ RTL515 rearview radar. Compatible hardware is sold separately.

Garmin® and Varia™ are trademarks of Garmin Ltd. or its subsidiaries. Biking Radar is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Garmin.

Safety

Radar readings may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate. Biking Radar and compatible hardware can improve situational awareness, but do not replace cyclist attentiveness and good judgment. Always monitor traffic and your surroundings, and operate your bicycle safely. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
