my eye? why no, does your drop bar ends come close to your eyes? I'm not that kind of rider, meaning no flat back, etc. the 3rd pic is also on my left drop bar. it was an earlier incarnation. there isn't a great way to do this and I just wanted to show some mounting options.

re: "getting buzzed often is part of sharing the road"

so true and one must get used to it without flinching

little antecdote: was commuting one morning and I was buzzed but before I could see the car I heard the scream from the teen in the passenger seat, nothing coherent just gibberish, but it was loud and gave me a jolt, they rode on laughing their arses off. a couple lights later I filtered/snuck up to their car and shouted right in the kids ear: "laughing now, funny boy!" REALLY LOUD! he almost cr*pped his pants but then started laughing and said "oh man you got me good" and held out his hand to shake mine, I just shook my head and rode away
