They don't suffer as badly from road vibration, and they allow one to see a wider area to the rear with just a slight twist of your head. But, any mirror is better for situational awareness than no mirror at all, and those do look interesting. -- ~_-* ....G/ \G http://www.CycliStats.com CycliStats - Software for Cyclists |

I wish I had a mirror through which I could see anything. I have tried
a helmet mirror and all I could see was my shoulder. I might try this one. |

I suspect a troll, but if not, maybe the poster didn't realize that the mirror's position is adjustable. Lets see, I can be a troll or an idiot ... tough decision. Well, I am sure I don't know everything so maybe I am just an idiot. I was being serious. I have tried a helmet mirror while riding my road bike and I found it difficult to see past my shoulder or helmet. Maybe my ears stick out too far - which is bad for my aerodynamics too. I find it much easier to glance back than to try to see back with the helmet mirror. If I have to sit up, turn and tilt my head to see with the mirror, it seems easier to just glance back. The main problem with glancing back is the tendancy to turn the bike when doing so. It also seemed difficult to get the mirror in a postion that was not blocked by sunglasses and within swivel range of my eyeball. I have only tried one helmet mirror (I think it is a "Third Eye Pro" http://store.yahoo.com/penncyclebuy/564-015.html )and it is possible that a different one might work better. The take-a-look mirror seems to get good comments. The mirror now lives in a box along with several uncomfortable saddles and other dysfunctional gear. |
