Lastly, any mirror is better than none at all but if you truly want to be efficient with your vision, it needs to be head mounted.
The very last thing I need while riding in NYC is another distraction. I've been riding for almost 50 years and never felt that I made a bad decision because I didn't see BEHIND me.
