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

I have used these road mirrors so long I keep extras in case I lose or break one. Sold one to a friend recently because he liked mine.

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.

Works good on my ????? but works even better when my wife talks to the back of my head

It attaches to my sunglasses and is angled for maximum and sufficient rearview. For several weeks I have used this item, the first of its kind that I have used. I have no complaints about it at all. I ride city streets with lots of motor traffic multiple times a week. No longer need I twist my neck around to see what is behind me. If you ride your bike where cars are driven, there is nothing to decide but to get this mirror.

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.

I use it for my casual bike riding. Makes my ride more fun.

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.

Just got back from my first ride with this mirror. Wow. I've spent hundreds of dollars on fancy neon clothing, flashing lights, reflective fabrics... and nothing even comes close to the amount of safety that this tiny $XX device brings! Not only does it provide you, the cyclist, with information about cars behind you, but, for the first time in my four seasons of cycling, I felt like a valued vehicle on the road. There's an odd psychological behavior that I observed, and I'm not sure how to explain it, but if cars behind you know that you can see them behind you (you slightly tilting your head to view vehicles as they approach), they're much less likely to try something stupid (pass you with a semi-truck approaching in the other lane). Today, in my short 1-hour ride, I had three cars wait to pass me until the opposite lane was clear. No vehicle passed me with cars in the opposite lane. I even had people wait to pass me until no-passing lanes ended! It was amazing! I had more cars treat me like a vehicle in one ride than I have historically been treated in years! I'm not sure why mirrors have this effect and not flashing lights or certain clothes, but heck, for $XX... that's a steal. Stop reading and buy it. Your life is worth more than an IMAX movie.

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.

First time I used this was on a gravel ride. I spent a good deal of time adjusting the mirror while riding to the start of the gravel; as soon as we hit the gravel, the mirror got knocked out of position. I attempted to remove the loose part of the mirror for safe keeping, but it fell off and has now taken up residence on a gravel road in Shokopee, Minnesota.

It was a good idea, but it simply didn’t work for me.

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.

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 been using this mirror for about 8 or 9 years. It works for me. This is only the 2nd one I've needed to purchase in all this time. It connects to my prescription sun glasses easily and securely. I'm 71 years old and my head doesn't rotate as it once did. This mirror helps with that problem.

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.

Well its a rearview mirror so it has to be adjusted correctly to do its job. The key thing is the glasses it is being used on, it has to be secure so you can make minor adjustments along the way with out it coming off.

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.

Best mirror out there

Minimal vibration

Love it
