I have a helmet mirror but I'm having trouble with it. I've had LASIC surgery and my focus is "fixed" for far vision. My left eye is supposed to be the dominant one but I still have trouble discerning what's behind me.

I bought a Cyclops end mirror but my husband said it can't be used on our bikes because we have the kind of shifters where you rotate the end of the handlebars. I have a hybrid bike (Trek 1200).

I'm going to try your plan and get a pair of mirrors to mount on the handlebars to use in addition to the helmet mirror. Thanks!
