Introductions - Intro and Idea

Hello,
54 years old, Hailey, Idaho (Michigan transplant). Bought a bike 4 years ago to ride, didn't. Recently upgraded my equipment thru online auctions and now pedaling an hour daily. This area is scenic and I need exercise.

Traffic freaks me, I need a mirror but bike mounted ones are problematic. Web research revealed eyeglass-mounted products were expensive and I had a better idea, I think...

[MOD EDIT TO REMOVE AD]

Not sure if I'll post much in bikeforums.net but I have and will be reading posts to get the best cycling information.
Thanks, BK

Welcome to bike forums...

Thanks hendrick81, very kind of you. BIG place here, glad I found the forum and I'm forward to the exchange with everyone (whew!).

Welcome to BF.

Here's the mirror I use. :beer:

I appreciate the info RonH, I hadn't seen that one. Nice. Just the Take-a-Look and Third Eye brands were found in my research.

My design approach is super basic with like materials. I see this mirror as a small "aid" to looking around always. I feel the low price should attract some folks who might otherwise go without... I hope.

Thanks for the input (and the greeting to a new member). If you know of previous forum discussions of mirrors here, please share.

There have been loads of mirror discussions on BF.
