I can honestly say!, i feel a lot safer on the roads after buying one of these.Yea i may look like a borg from star trek next generation..but then the borg are my fave aliens,yup im a sci fi fan.!issac asimov rocked!Out of 5 i would give it 4 purely because of the flimsy construction..the mirrors attachment is a bit suspect .It has had some unexpected benefits other than the safety aspect though..i am now cycling further away from the kerb,thus avoiding all the debris,something else i have noticed is i was holding the bars 2 rigidly thus the mirror was vibrating ...now i have a much more languid,fluid grip and ride in a much more relaxed manner.......!and thus the mirror does not vibrate as much......!I would recommend any one to give them a try..like me you might be pleasantly surprised.!just a little update...!I cannot now imagine riding my bike without one,the few times i have rode without my helmet and the mirror,i have felt really insecure... through not knowing what is coming up behind me.It really has enhanced my cycling experience...to the extent that i am going to get the glasses mounted cycleaware product...for when i do not use my helmet...!peace.!
