Another important safety item is glasses, whether or not you need a prescription, because they keep debris out of your eyes. Be sure to get plastic frames, because you don't want metal puncturing your face in a crash.

So now that I've talked you into wearing glasses, attach a Take-A-Look mirror to them. That's what I wear almost every time I ride. I've tried many eyeglass mirrors, and this one is the best, by a long shot.
