It has a wide field of view, mounts easily, and doesn't vibrate out of position when you ride. You can mount it underneath the handlebar grip, and then it doesn't stick out like the Mirrycle.
Slick. I like it. But I ride a bike because I can't legally drive a car because my vision is only correctable to 20/80. A mirror like that is just too far away to be very useful. Luckily there is more than one way to skin the cat of rearward visibility. As this thread goes forward we will see (nyuk, nyuk) even more ways to determine who or what is hanging off your six. I would like to mention an entirely new method I only learned about recently.
