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?
I have the Take A Look sunglass mounted mirror. Keep in mind mirrors have a small image area, I use it only to get an idea if something is behind me and if I need to I use my head to turn and look to get a better view. Even when I drive a car I don't rely on mirrors, I use the mirrors all the time, but I also turn my head to look out windows to make sure where things are...I simply carried on that same habit with the mirror on my glasses when I ride. It's just double checking stuff.
