If vehicles were coming faster than posted speed limits a red led lit up. Bottom line amber is look back, red is forget it. 4 of the red rear leds flash until a vehicle is detected then 4 more flash and intensify as the vehicle gets closer. I feel a little safer and do not constantly look back. Pretty cool.
Nice! Glad you like it. How does it work with other cyclists behind you?
