Mirror for a flat bar

There is a thread in the 50+ forum about the use of a mirror on a drop bar road bike. But since my primary bike is a FX 7.5, it doesn't have drop bars(duh). I'd like to use a handle bar mounted mirror, and I'd like to know what other folks riding a bike like mine use, and the pluses and minuses of them. A helmet mounted, or third choice, glasses mount are also an option. So what do you use, and how do you like it?

Thanks, Enjoy the Ride.

Bikes: 2010 Trek FX 7.5, 2011 Trek 2.1

What year is it? I ask because the 2011 7.5 has different grips.
I have this on my 2010 and like it

This would work for a 2011.

+1; Mirrycle is excellent; I'll be getting them for my drop bar bikes soon since I no longer have a hybrid.

On my 09 7.3FX I have mirror similiar to the Third Eye bar end mirror which is nice since it slides inside of the bar then twist to tighten up. It folds out of the way when not needed. Which ever mirror you decide make sure it's glass and not plastic junk. I paid $12 at LBS for mirror.
