Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I tried various mirrors on the bike, on the helmet and on the shades. Eventually, I settled on the Take-a-look ones because they're all metal and not as bulky as others. I soon realized that a mirror was handy on the tandem, too.
Totally different situation.

Looking back, while riding a recumbent, is difficult for even the most flexible humans.

Have I told you what a bunch of ****ing Fred Morons you are here lately?

I say that in the most endearing and affectionate sense.

Let us know how the one your friend makes compares to the others. I am always interested in hearing more about them.
My friend has long moved away so I ordered the little lens mirrors made by Third Eye. I'll make a report next week.

Hey. I object. I have been a Fred for years, not just lately. I will neither confirm nor deny if I am a moron.

Off the top of my head, the only Rod Stewart songs I've really liked are "Forever Young," "Broken Arrow," "Downtown Train," and "The Motown Song."
