Keep practicing, champ, it's not that hard. It should be even easier with a homemade mirror that's superior to store bought ones. If it is beyond you though, I recommend clipless pedals and a camelback. You might also benefit from some sort of proximity warning device, and possibly some training wheels. HTH
