And then there are those with the rubber bands to wrap around the handlebars so you have to make sure it doesn't interfere with your left hand. Well those rubber bands keep breaking. So now they are tied on with wires and string.
This year they tested bicycle mirrors like that for Pedelecs at the Dutch consumer organisation:
Reviews in Dutch
They really liked the
VWP bicycle mirror
Though I have to share this mistranslation with you:
The mirror is easy to assemble, easy to adjust, gives a good view of the traffic behind you and does not vibrate on vowels.
The original word was "
klinkers", which can be a
vowel but is more likely to be
cobblestones in this context.
