Works good on my ????? but works even better when my wife talks to the back of my head
The Garmin Varia is a godsend of tech that can alert a rider of approaching cars. So does this mirror at a much cheaper clip. This also helps on the tight bike paths to get a glance at who is behind without the worry of swerving off course when turning one's head. Looks super dorky, so a huge neg on the coolness scale. Make of it what you will, but I'd rather be safe to ride another day. - signed Uncool Joe.
Mounted on my glasses it has to be far enough from my head to see over my shoulder, but in that position it's outside the area of focus for the glasses, so cyclists behind me are just a blur. Works fine with contacts or plain sunglasses.
Seeing behind you is a top safety concern. Cars, faster riders overtaking, it's always information that helps you ride safely. That said, every option is a compromise. For me this item seems the best option. Lightweight, removable, and inexpensive helped make the decision. I didn't want a handlebar option, so the helmet add on seemed the way to go. Working fine so far.
I have a bar end mirror on my hybrid bike, but bought a new Carbon road bike and didn't want to add that. a friend of mine suggested this mirror to wear on my glasses. Only took a bit to get the angle and sight line adjusted - I LOVE this thing. Even took off the parabolic mirror extending from my drop bars because I never looked at it before. Based on reviews, I went with the small size and it is perfect for me. Lowest cost safety device I own.
I have both full mirrors and the smaller 1/2 mirror ones. I use whichever one is necessary for the glasses I am wearing. Sometimes too much of my shoulder is in the mirror so It requires a different one.
I have used these road mirrors so long I keep extras in case I lose or break one. Sold one to a friend recently because he liked mine.
I've tried several different mirrors and this is by far the best. I doesn't vibrate while riding and it's easily adjustable. Customer service is awesome -- they really stand behind their lifetime guarantee. If the mirror cracks along the pivot point, Bike Peddler will happily send you a new one. I've tried both lengths; regular works best for me.
Love the mirror. My wife and I have used the 'Bike Peddler Take a Look Cyclist Mirror' for at least 12 years. We mount the mirror on our sunglasses. My recent purchase was for the purposes of having a spare handy in case we loose one of our mirrors. Thus, I did buy this product again.
Best mirror out there
Minimal vibration
Love it
The mirror is attached to an arm which sits in a tubular holder. My first time using this, the mirror fell out of the holder on a section of gravel, lost forever.
It was hard to adjust and did not stay in place securely. I did not try to replace it, just considered it a failed experiment.
Absolutely love these, takes a little time getting used to those, but now, I don't ride without them ...??
It attaches to my sunglasses and is angled for maximum and sufficient rearview. For several weeks I have used this item, the first of its kind that I have used. I have no complaints about it at all. I ride city streets with lots of motor traffic multiple times a week. No longer need I twist my neck around to see what is behind me. If you ride your bike where cars are driven, there is nothing to decide but to get this mirror.
I've used several mirrors. This is unquestionably the best. I usually carry two or three on overseas bike trips as people I meet all want to know where to get one.
Granted it looks a little dorky, but now that I have a mirror I don't feel complete if I am on my bike without one.
I prefer the head mounted mirror to the handle bar mounted variety, less vibration, easier to control field of view.
First time I used this was on a gravel ride. I spent a good deal of time adjusting the mirror while riding to the start of the gravel; as soon as we hit the gravel, the mirror got knocked out of position. I attempted to remove the loose part of the mirror for safe keeping, but it fell off and has now taken up residence on a gravel road in Shokopee, Minnesota.
It was a good idea, but it simply didn’t work for me.
just the right size and weight and the attachment easily adjusts to different size eyeglass frames.
Fits well on sunglasses and has an excellent view to the rear. Adjusts in multiple directions.
I use it for my casual bike riding. Makes my ride more fun.
It is easy to mount on a visor, but not on a helmet with out a visor. Found an attachment device the works pretty well. Once mounted in a good location it is easy to a line the mirror for looking at approaching traffic. It is very light weight and good visual field.
