For my MTB and road bikes, I am a fan of Blackburn mirrors that velcro to the end of the handlebar or the brake hoods, respectively. Many here swear by the helmet or spectacle mount mirrors, but with my middle-aged vision, the Blackburns give me a better field of view and focus.

I'm currently using a Take-a-look mirror. You can clip it onto your eyeglasses/visor or mount it on your helmet. I have it clipped on my glasses and like it because I only have to move my head a tiny bit to look into the mirror and it has an excellent field of view.

You're the second one to ask this question in the last two hours.
