I do most of my biking in Rails-to Trails. For the last few years I have used a helmet mounted rear view mirror when biking. The problem with helmet mirrors is that it demands that I swivel/turn/move my head to just the right position in order to get a clear view of what is behind me. I got tired of having to do so much maneuvering just to check the rear!So I did some research, read the reviews and took a chance on this mirror. What a difference now!I mounted it on the left side and above the handle bar, in the horizontal orientation. I took my first ride with the new mirror yesterday. All I need to do now is simply move my eyes to the left and I get a clear view of what and who is behind me. The fact that it is a wide mirror (for its size) means I get a very good look at a wide area in the back! I found myself checking the rear more often than I would with the helmet mirror. It has added a measure of safety to my riding.One of my pet peeves when biking are the “marathon” bikers that appear out of nowhere, seemingly trying to break some kind of speed record. One moment there are nowhere to be seen and the next they are passing you at the speed of light! Most of them don’t even have the courtesy of giving a verbal and/or bell warning of their approach! This mirror now allows me to be on the lookout for those kamikaze riders.So yes, I highly, highly recommend this mirror. I read in some of the reviews that is tends to get loose. That should not be a big concern since it comes equipped with an Allen wrench to tighten the 2 screws.For those of you that do a lot of street riding, installing 2 mirrors, one on each side, should give you clear and wide area view when riding in traffic. Safe biking and happy trails!
