Slight hearing loss, yeah, its kind of busy on the 4 lane roads, I can hear the tires, but just get surprised when they show up next to me. I usually glance around and assume the noise is from the 2nd lane and not on my ass. I need to assume less
I just never thought about throwing a mirror along with all the other stuff I have on. We'll see
. I noticed in some reviews that the helmet mounts don't work too well when on a road bike. I am going to look around here and see if I spot someone using a helmet mirror.
I am also looking forward to seeing a drafter behind me. When I am on the bike trail, I get into that zone and can't stand when I go to avoid something in the road and hear "WHOA WHOA WHOA!!!" Well...get the hell off my ass man...I'll save that for another thread though
What mirror do you have?
