Road CC stated my concern which is you'll change the view when you move your arm. Rearviz Classic mirror review | road.cc

My bad I just saw the picture and clicked on it.

I like it - looks pretty stylish and versatile. I've been considering the Take-a-look mirror for my prescription glasses for a while, but this looks like a better option.

Sad thing is, they don't have a shop in Melbourne (where I'll be) even though they're based in Australia... eesh.

spoonfork

You are lucky that you still in Australia while I'm in Singapore , actually just place order for their classic version .

I could help you bring one or two back, but expect to wait till January lol.

It would be good when travelling in a foreign city, and you choose to use a Bike-Share bike..

Rearviz Classic mirror review | road.cc (just found that).

Here is the one I use, its small, unobtrusive, quick setup/adjustment and a breeze to add/remove. I use it on both my road bike (drops) and my single speed with bullhorns.

Actually when I was searching for mirror came upon the mirror you are using but saw the comment that the rubber or plastic clip holder might not last ? anyway saw this Rearviz mirror look very stylist and the idea seem workable , waiting to receive it and try it and maybe will feedback ...

I don't like the looks of it. I like my eyeglass/helmet mirror just fine EXCEPT if wearing a hooded jacket. Then...maybe the elbow mirror would be better.

Looking straight down AND to the side at speed? Nah. Their own web image makes it look bad.



I glance at my helmet mounted mirror at least once every 15 seconds. Can't imagine what my neck would feel like after a 50 mile ride looking up and down 600 times in 2.5 hours. There is a good reason why every motor vehicle ever made has mirrors at eye level with the driver.

Vain hope that once in a while the driver might notice them?

I like my bar end mirror better (I ride a recumbent, though, so the location is much better than a DF with drop bars).

JoeyBike

These days a motorist just looking through the windshield is about all I can hope for.

I ride a flat bar bike while in traffic... and my bar end mirror is wonderful. I actually feel naked without it, as I am so used to using it. I like the design of this rearvis idea as frankly one should use whatever suits you best, and whatever gives you good situational awareness.

kickstart

Driving a semi with 6 mirrors, 4 in the standard position that require redirecting line of sight to use, and 2 out front on the fenders within my peripheral vision.
The effort required to use the side mirrors is irrelevant, its far less effort than a head check, but that said, a bicycle not being a semi and operated in a significantly different manner, I have found that a helmet/glasses mounted mirror that's within my peripheral vision work best as cycling is more dynamic than driving a semi.

They're not a big investment, try both and see which works best.

KD5NRH

Optimist.

I like my eyeglass mirror just fine. Bonus--it can be completely inverted for traveling in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.

PatrickGSR94

I prefer helmet mirrors myself. I can use whatever glasses I need to use for day or night, and I can turn my head side-to-side to scan a huge area around me. I can be effectively aware of the full 360 degrees around me by using the mirror and looking side to side.

Cool looking piece of gear, but the review I just read doesn't give much hope for it. Sounds like it's for a rather specific kind of rider.

spoonfork

I have not yet try it riding but think it will be on my wrist , will have to wait until next weekend .

Bluechip

Interesting concept but my wife tried it and she doesn't really like it. She rides a road bike with aero bars and could not find a position that works well in both positions. It's more of an either or thing. If you stay locked in one position I think it's fine but I just don't see too many people doing that. She ordered a small so it isn't big enough for my arm so I haven't really tried it out. It fits on my wrist but it doesn't really give me a good rear view like that. It's also a little too rigid for my liking. I would have thought the base could have been a little more flexible to give a more comfortable fit.

I looked at it, and I won't use it.
