Bike PeddlerTake a Look Cyclist Mirror(Return to Product Page)

Seeing behind you is a top safety concern. Cars, faster riders overtaking, it's always information that helps you ride safely. That said, every option is a compromise. For me this item seems the best option. Lightweight, removable, and inexpensive helped make the decision. I didn't want a handlebar option, so the helmet add on seemed the way to go. Working fine so far.

I have both full mirrors and the smaller 1/2 mirror ones. I use whichever one is necessary for the glasses I am wearing. Sometimes too much of my shoulder is in the mirror so It requires a different one.

I rode for many years without a rear view mirror. Simply put, this was the best investment I have ever made in regards to safety. Now I couldn't imagine riding without it.

Clips right on to my plastic frame Ray-Ban's no problem, nice and snug, never shifts or slips. Very easy to adjust, then stays put.

No matter how I attach it, I can't see behind me.

I threw it away.

Should have returned it.

Don't buy this mirror.

I have had several different mirrors ranging from those mounted to the bar ends, helmet and glasses and have found these to be my favorites. They adjust easily and once you find the set up that works best for you it's not hard to reset them prior to a ride. Some mention having a longer reach for better vision, but I've not found this to be an issue. They are invaluable when riding in areas with traffic and remove the necessity for turning your head to check prior to moving left or turning. On the occassion of forgetting them, I feel uneasy without the ability to check what's going on behind me. The price is fair and I have found them to wear well and to last for several years without issues.

I tried this mirror and kept messing with it trying to get the mirror to see traffic, and when I did I had a blind spot that was too large to accept. Not sure it my problems were related to the design of the frame of my glasses, or if no matter what glass frame I would have used the result would have been the same, I'm not going to buy another pair of glasses to find out, some reviewers here love them so I suggest you try it and see what you think. Next time I buy a mirror I'll try a helmet mounted one and see if that works better. I think the product is overpriced too.

I've had a cyclist mirror years ago, but lost them in a move so I picked these up. The usefulness of such mirrors comes into play (for me) when I'm riding and needing to stay diligent of traffic coming up from behind. Still, the mirror I had previously was longer and it's apparent in the set up. That this one is relatively short-extends to less than four inches in length-takes away from an effective configuration requiring you to move your head when to see what's behind you. I wear wide-stem Tifosi sunglasses when riding and the mirror connects snugly-no worries about adjustment shifting once the bracket is installed, but I also have a pair of wire Oakley's. You can forget installing these are wire thin glasses. Overall the quality is good, but again, I've seen this product with a longer extension that simply works better. If I have to turning my head and focus (due to the short stem) takes longer than taking a look over the shoulder-it does-there's really no point in having a mirror at all.

Clips onto RudyProject Rydon frames firmly - a bit of adjustment required to get 'just right' - but its very flexible in all directions.

I have had 3 of these mirrors over the years.. the mirror always outlasts the little black rubber tips that protect your eyewear and hold it in place. Tendency to rip over time, but, I remove the 'good one' from another mirror to replace it.

Best part is clear field of vision.

I had never used a helmet/glasses mounted mirror. This one was a little too big. The mirror portion was too large and created a blind spot looking forward that freaked me out. I think I could get used to having the blind spot forward if the mirror itself were smaller. I've seen some like this with a mirror half the size.

I've tried several different mirrors and this is by far the best. I doesn't vibrate while riding and it's easily adjustable. Customer service is awesome -- they really stand behind their lifetime guarantee. If the mirror cracks along the pivot point, Bike Peddler will happily send you a new one. I've tried both lengths; regular works best for me.

This mirror gives the best rear view of any mirror I have ever used and has no distortion.

It seemed like it wouldn't stay on, and I couldn't adjust it to see oncoming traffic.

Works well and stays put on 35-mile rides. Have used about a dozen times. Swiveled mirror flat each time to store when done - works, looks and fits like brand new. Mirror is fairly large and thick, but light. Appears to be polycarbonate, but don't let that scare you. The view is flawlessly flat and clear (optical grade), and poly is less likely to fog and will never shatter. Fits snugly on my metal-framed glasses. I intend to use this when walking with ear-buds to keep a better awareness of traffic.

I have 3 of these mirrors & they work very well, fit on most glasses (all of mine) and provide good rear vision.

Love the mirror. My wife and I have used the 'Bike Peddler Take a Look Cyclist Mirror' for at least 12 years. We mount the mirror on our sunglasses. My recent purchase was for the purposes of having a spare handy in case we loose one of our mirrors. Thus, I did buy this product again.

The system attaches securely to my Oakley M frame glasses. It's a little difficult to get on , but once connected, it's on to stay.

I'd prefer a smaller mirror that doesn't create such a large blind spot. I have the longer mirror and I think the short one would be even worse.

I think this will be more durable than prior plastic mirrors I've had.

The mirror is attached to an arm which sits in a tubular holder. My first time using this, the mirror fell out of the holder on a section of gravel, lost forever.

It was hard to adjust and did not stay in place securely. I did not try to replace it, just considered it a failed experiment.

I've tried a few of these mirrors. This one is the only one I'd recommend. It's also the only one that people on my team (Grizzly Peaks Cyclists) rides with.

Buy one.

You won't be disappointed.

Excellent mirror. Literally gives you eyes on the back of your head. Go for the full length - the compact is too short to see much of anything behind you and the full size isn't as heavy as you'd think.

Adjustable and sturdy. When put on my glasses, it stays there, no chance of falling off. Great rear vision with it.
