You know, we seem to say it again and again; "Those clever Japanese"!

I was bicycling in Japan last week and purchased a mirror in Japan for the bike I was using. Holy Moly, I could see behind me almost as well as I could see in front of me. That mirror could fit Mt. Fuji, Tokyo, and Gozilla all in one view.

I don't know how they designed it, but the bottom part was wider than the top in a kind of hectogram shape. Ah, if only you could have been there, you would understand what I mean. Hmm. Well, anyway...

So, I bought a bunch of them delighted with the thought of using them on my bike at home and sharing with friends. Low and behold, the Japanese mirrors are designed specifically to be used on the right side of the bike because the Japanese drive on the wrong side (the left side) of the road like the British. Right-O-, mate.

They are absolutely useless here in the states on the left side of the bike.

Sayonara cool mirror from Japan.
