Smart Riders Protect
Themselves With A Good
Bicycle Mirror.


You wouldn't drive your car without a mirror so why ride a bike without a bicycle mirror? This is especially true when riding in traffic or in a group.

bar end bicycle mirror There are a lot of choices but I usually prefer a bar end mirror. And, the simpler the better. They fit in, or on, the end of your handlebar and mount very easily. It should be readily adjustable but stiff enough that it stays where you put it.

There are also some mirrors that clip on the earpiece of your glasses. These have the advantage of enabling you to turn your head to change your view. They are a bit fragile but they have a lot of fans especially with road bike riders.

I got one recently and like it more every time I use it.
