Every post inspires me to make my own mirror! I'm getting into my garage junk heap and doing this!!!

I have a bar-end mirror. I've thought of trying a helmet mirror but ever since my eyes reached the bi-/tri-focals stage, I've wondered if looking into a helmet mirror would prove impossible. But as I've never come across a comment about this, that's probably not an issue. Is it?

I have trifocals, no problems.

I got into cycling in the late 80s and early 90s. I was inspired by racing but I primarily commuted and did long distance rec riding. I thought rear view mirrors diminished the coolness factor. Getting back into cycling I ordered my new LHT with the rear view and don't know how I did without it. Yeah, the vibrating sucks, but I can see more than enough to be be aware of what's behind me. Indispensable at night. I still do a head turn whenever I change lanes, just like in a car. I only have one on the left, but on group rides and whenever I am not in the right lane, a ride hand mirror would be helpful.

BTW, I don't remember the guy's name, but one of the 1st drivers to use a rear view mirror was a driver racing in the Indianapolis 500. He was laughed at, but because he used it effectively it led to him winning the race, and it was used from then on.

I use the Take a Look mirror. I have been out of the US for the past couple of weeks and borrowing a bike from a relative where I'm visiting for fitness riding. I have to say that I can't hardly stand riding on the road without my mirror. Having to turn my had so much more often, coupled with traffic being on the other side of the road makes riding here (Ireland) challenging. I wish I had my mirror.

Take a Look on the visor of my helmet. I depend on the view in the mirror. Can't turn my head and look behind me on a 'bent.

Umm....You know Leisesturm was responding to Wolfchild? It was fully quoted and referenced in post #25 in this thread?......but you knew that already due to you "reading comprehension skills", am I right?

Sometimes I think I must be 90 degrees out of phase with everyone in this forum. I've looked at half a dozen mirror threads and never once seen mentioned the kind of mirror I think beats them all hands down. Cycleaware viewpoint mirror, a small adjustable mirror you glue on the inside lens of your sunglasses.http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=213534

I have seen nothing but negative reports on that one.

The perfect mirror most likely does not exist.

We each have different riding conditions as well as vision requirements.

Well count one positive now among them. I tried several sunglasses before finding a shape that works, but after that no problem. I'll confess that I have no idea what you mean by different riding conditions and vision requirements as pertaining to mirrors, but for what it's worth I can see cars coming and cyclists behind me.

Since my sunglasses are prescription lens, that would be $250 each time I try a different pair

I didn't even notice this, with apologies to streetstomper. Count it as two positives now.

This is the mirror I use when I use one. It's much better than the TAL mirror.

It is a knock off of the Chuck Harris mirror but improved. It's a great mirror. Here's the story behind it.

I tried and tried to get a hold of a Chuck Harris mirror and couldn't so gave up and bought this one. That said, I like how it is more out of your field of view than a TAL mirror and the shape is much better too. So, even though it's Fredly, I use it. I have to ride on a highway (has 10' shoulders) but I have to be very careful for a left turn I have to make at an intersection that has had numerous fatalities. This mirror really helps with the situational awareness in a BIG way.

I actually have an old jujitsu injury that means I can't turn my head to the left without pain. Therefore, I have the Take a Look mirror mounted to my helmet with a couple zipties.
