Nothing is safer than visually checking.

And very limited utility: http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/...devices-182166

When utility is limited, you have to ratchet-up the scare tactics. OTOH, it is a neat novelty item if you already own one of the Edge products. You get MORE stuff to look at on your screen -- because cadence, power, heart-rate, location, speed, average speed, altitude, prior performance, virtual performance, location of other riders, temperature and time are not enough. I want a mountain lion locator!

What?
No rate of climb and gradient indications?
At that rate you'll get so bored you might end up having to look where
you're going!


Presumably rev 2 will have a forward-looking radar so you won't
have to bother.

Closing speed, sound and direction amplification...with filtering.

Development of this device leads the way.

I really don't know what these Garmin varmints are going on about; cops beg you to spot their radars; it is ludicrously easy. Now, real research... Almost as many PhDs as in NASA's moonshot were involved in developing my LRM (Leprechaun Revealer Machine). The central reference to my many peer reviewed articles on the subject in the professional literature is at
http://coolmainpress.com/ajwriting/archives/2490
or you can just go to
https://soupandnuts.wordpress.com/20...prechaun-hunt/
to share in the great triumph of that moment when the leprechaun was momentarily brought into our dimension.

J's lion prob is banks loaned money to developers of the lion's property. Now the area has mixed lions/Californians.

Californians are handwringers. Many males lacking other goals and solutons to mid life crisis, want to be women.

This rag posturing no doubt exacerbates the perceived lion problem
