Extra Large Mirrors ...
Does anyone have extra large mirrors on their bicycle? I've tried a variety of the usual bicycle mirrors, and cannot see the cars until it's too late. So, I need extra large mirrors ...
Where would I find the extra large mirrors?
I don't think mirrors that attach to a helmet or glasses would work for me, because I have a serious problem with my eyes watering, sometimes nearly nonstop. If I have extra large mirrors, I should be able to still see the traffic behind me.

Try motorcycle mirrors, should be able to put them on your handlebar with a little shimming.

Do what I did. Install a pair of scooter mirrors with a "P" clip on your bike. I got mine from e-bay
for $14 the pair!!

I added a new mirror yesterday!
It has a 9 inch arm.
The name brand is "SUNLITE".
I just Googled it:

It must be new. When I click "mirrors", it says "coming soon".

I like this one for large field of view and to see drafting riders directly behind me. This is good even if you have other mirrors.

I find that the tiny mirrors that stick to the inside of your glasses give a much larger image than any bar mount one I've ever used. The closeness to the eye more than compensates for the small size.
