why not?

Yes please integrate this device; Ride GPS has it.. Lets ensure Strava strives for safety..

Please Strava love your app but love the Garmin. This would be a match made in heaven.

Hi @delussu 

Thanks for posting about this!  Garmin Varia radar devices provide cyclists with visual and audio alerts for approaching vehicles.  Are you suggesting we implement something similar for the Strava App?  Be interested in your thoughts.  Thank you.

Strava doesn't need to recreate the Garmin Varia functionality, it just needs to support integration with Varia. As others have noted, Ride with GPS already pairs with Varia, making it a compelling alternative to Strava for the growing number of riders who swear by Varia.

This was a deal breaker for me with Strava and why I didn't subscribe.  The inability to pair my Garmin varia with the app.  I use Ride with GPS instead until Strava integrates this.

Me as well!  When will Strava ever pair with Garmin Varia? It's well overdue.
