The Take-a-Look it was just a quick glance up with the eyes and slight movement of the head and I could pinpoint everything behind me in a fraction of a second very clearly.
I recently posted to this General Cycling thread, "What is the most underrated bicycle accessory?,"

I’m a mirror fanatic and staunch proponent on mirror popcorn threads, but I restrain my fingers (on the keyboard) when it comes to favoring the Take-a-Look eyeglass-mounted mirror over any other model. I'll support use of any kind of mirror. Nonetheless @mrodgers, your description of the superior utiliity of an eyeglass mirror is right on.

PS to @gringomojado, have you encountered any popcorn threads yet; they even have their own icon. The idea is that like watching a prize fight, you sit back and watch the participants have at each other…about mirrors, helmets, running stop signs, utility of valve stem caps, whatever.
