Good Mirror that clamps on handlebars?

ATP* (and Dolan)...

If the bicycle is vibrating because of a bad road surface, then rider
will vibrate as well as the mirror attached to the helmet of the
rider ;^). A helmet mounted mirror is not superior just because Ed
"Zarathustra" Dolan says it is. The helmet mirror is viewed with only
one eye which introduces a whole other set of problems.

Dolan needs to refrain from emphatically expounding upon topics he
knows little or nothing about in order to spare himself continued self-
inflicted embarrassment. Has anyone ever seen a motorcycle rider with
a helmet mounted mirror? As Tom Sherman correctly pointed out,
motorcycles have handlebar mounted mirrors.. Tom also stated that he
has the Mirrycle Mountain mirrors on several 'bents, and they do not
vibrate relative to the handlebars if everything is properly tightened
up.

It is worth noting that Dolan has not indicated that he has had any
experience with this particular mirror (because he hasn't). It is also
worth noting that both Tom and I have and Dolan has repeatedly
indicated that Tom is a recumbent guru of sorts whose opinion he
respects, so why then doesn't Dolan just shut up? Well, because it is
just not in his nature to be agreeable, rational and sensible.

In spite of Dolan's errant assertions to the contrary, a handlebar
mounted mirror is not ALWAYS (one of Dolan's favorite words) in the
way, nor does it quickly become a nuisance. Had the nuisance (Dolan)
bothered to check the links I provided, he would have realized that
there are various mount options specifically intended to address this
very problem (one which I don't have). Granted, some handlebar
mounted mirrors are decidedly flimsy and do vibrate considerably. It
just so happens the Mirrycle Mirror is extremely rigid and, as Tom
Sherman pointed out, does not vibrate in relation to the handlebar.
Had to mention that a second time it would not escape the Doloan's
attention.

ATP* ... understand that Dolan has a bug up his ass when it comes to
Sherman and myself, so you need to take this into consideration when
he responds to either of us. You can take my word and/or that of Tom
Sherman or you can take the word of Dolan who has not experience with
this particular mirror. Tom and I are trying to be helpful whereas
Dolan obviously has ONLY an axe to grind.

The bicycle will vibrate more than will the rider. One eye is more than
sufficient provided you are not an idiot.

If the entire bicycle vibrates, then so will any mirror mounted to it.
Motorcycles are heavy vehicles and do not vibrate much for a number of
reasons.

The main person who needs to shut up is JimmyMac. He never knows what he
is talking about when it comes to bicycles, although I must admit he is
knowledgeable about computers. Only a few select individuals in the entire
history of the world are knowledgeable about everything. Ed Dolan the

It is impossible to mount a mirror to the bicycle where it will not become
a nuisance. And all such mirrors will vibrate.

from boldly expounding with assumed authority about something he knows
absolutely nothing about. This is a bad habit of Dolan's which serves

rigid mirror of its type that I have ever encountered. I specifically
purchased it because it is vibration free.

If the bicycle is vibrating because of a bad road surface (very common
hereabouts), then any mirror attached to the bicycle will also vibrate.
Furthermore, any mirror attached to the bicycle will always be in the way
and quickly becomes a nuisance. A helmet mirror avoids all of these
annoyances besides being simply a superior way of seeing what is behind
you.

The bicycle will vibrate more than will the rider. One eye is more than
sufficient provided you are not an idiot.

In what way is the one eye solution superior? One eye does not
provide for three-dimensional imaging (depth perception). In the U.S.
that one eye would be your left which may or may not be your eye of
ocular dominance (In normal binocular vision the dominant eye is the
one relied upon for precise positional information.). Time to get up
to speed, Ed.

FACT: What one chooses to believe is the reality that one forges.
Whether true or not, ones behavior is influenced by what one
believes. Your tirades are predicated on intolerance of even the
slightest divergence from what you construe to true. A reasonable man
adapts himself to the world whereas an unreasonable man attempts to
adapt the world to himself. You are most certainly the latter.

Opinion state as fact. I have built several bicycles (uright adn
recumbents) from the ground up. I know as much about about bicycles
as I do about computers which is much more than Dolan knows about
either.

Although he wouldn't know a valid point even if introduced to it,
Dolan hates to lose an argument although he should be used to it by
now. When Dolan doesn't understand something, he merely attempts to
conceal his ignorance by discrediting an idea with the introduction of
a gratuitous, dismissive epithet.

although I must admit he is
knowledgeable about computers. Only a few select individuals in the entire
history of the world are knowledgeable about everything. Ed Dolan the

For most of his life, Dolan has wrestled with reality until delusion
eventually triumphed!

no problem with this mirror. Tom has no problem with this mirror.
Then again we can draw upon firsthand experience and you can draw only
upon what, pray tell? Until you check the links and experience the

Ed Dolan is very religious. He worships the very ground upon which he

That explains your overwhelming lack of popularity.

If he is not careful, he will end up a hermit like me!

Never happen. That which constitutes a level of self-realization, but
escapes Dolan's poor powers of perception is the notion that living
solely for the self is the ultimate failing and definitive expression
of arrogance. A victim of your own dotage, Dolan is destined to be
die a lonely and bitter man.
