I got tired of straining my neck constantly turning around to see if she's still there.
Hell Yeah.
I was surprised by how more pleasant riding was for me with my Mirrycle mirror as I frequently ride around where traffic can be coming from multiple directions, so I don't want to rely on just sound to try and pick the direction the traffic is coming from.
Also I regularly get passed by other cyclists up hills, so I like to see when they are near so that I don't change my line and cause a potential crash.
