Cannondale SmartSense System Long-Term Review: Synapse 1 RLE

www.dcrainmaker.com/2023/02/cannondale-smartsense-synapse.html

When you step back and think about it: Cannondale is triggering vehicle proximity notifications on the Lezyne's non-smart front/back lights using Garmin's Varia radar (also wrapped in Lezyne lighting), all of which is configured via Cannondale's own smartphone app…completely seamlessly while still ensuring the Varia radar connectivity shows up on pretty much any modern bike computer - be it Garmin, Wahoo, Stages, Hammerhead or others.

www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/03/paris-marathon-report.html

Some of you recently have recently asked why it is often that my bike is on the CompuTrainer (as seen above), if I much prefer the Wahoo KICKR? See, that’s the sign that you don’t have another triathlete/cyclist in your household.
