My favorite mirror

I've tried other mirrors. This has the best view - clarity and width of the field of vision. After figuring out the best adjustment, it stays put while riding. Two lengths are available. I prefer the longer one.

I attach them to glasses that have fairly strong plastic frames. The clamping mechanism can slip a little depending on the frame so I use a couple wraps of dental floss to make sure it doesn't slip.

I'm a bike commuter, so keeping an eye on traffic is a big deal. This mirror works quite well.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great price and great product.

I was skeptical but ordered one for my wife and myself. I would never ride the road without one anymore. Very durable, easy to fit on my oakleys and provides a full view of the entire road behind me. Just a glance is all it takes. It's really piece of mind to know what's going on behind you, without having to crane your neck around and wander all over the road. Takes a few rides to get used to and trust it. But it's an awesome product and after looking at the other brands out there the quality is excellent. Get the small one if your using it for sunglasses, fits perfect.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best mirror

I use it all the time. I purchased both the original and the compact sizes. For my type of vision only the original works. The compact's image is too tiny for me.

Thank you for your feedback.

Must have item for your safety. Cars and e-bikes come up behind with no warning . Bike paths have now become dangerous as these e-bikes come speeding past you with no sound.

Best rear-view mirror on the market!

My husband and I use these on every ride. They work great, and they are incredibly durable (unlike any others I had in the past)

Thank you for your feedback.

Works ok but there are better solutions

I tried this after a good review in Bicycling, but I'm not crazy about it. It is stable on my cycling glasses. But I find it difficult to adjust, not especially convenient to look into, and a tight enough fit on the fairly thick temples of my glasses that it changes their shape. Since getting this, I've tried a bar end mirror that I can adjust the angle on and flips up when not in use, and I find that works better for me. Still, the price on this is great and might be worth a try if glasses or helmet-mounted rearview mirrors work better for you.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Rear view Mirror

I used to have a mirror on my Helmet and then I switched to the one that fits on the sun glasses and I cannot be happier. The Mirror is large enough to see traffic, moves with the head and does not obstruct. The only issue is it does not fold to go back in the case, which it was not designed for.

I would recommend this pair as a tool to see whowhat is behind you.

Thank you for your feedback.

a real life-saver

used to have a similar clip-on that had a transparent mirror, but lost it and cannot find another. this one is the next best thing- so far. great price and easy to stash (but also easy to lose...) an important safety item if you share the road with vehicles.

Thank you for your feedback.

Once I was able to attach it, it works well.

Was hard to get on a few pairs of glasses, but now I just leave it on the one that it fit. And I like it.

Perfectly funtional

I'm a road cyclist and I feel naked and vulnerable if I can't see what's coming behind me. You all know that some drivers are oblivious to us and yet others are hostile. Better to know what's coming to be safe. This mirror is where form and function make a perfect meeting. It will adapt to any sunglass frame, is infinitely adjustable and is so light you don't notice it. I had to order a new one because I gave my old one to a vintner who admired it while I was on a trip in the Douro Valley in Portugal in May.

Thank you for your feedback.

THE BEST!

I use this mirror all the time. It's simple, adjustable and stays where it's supposed to be. I've tried the stick on mirrors....total junk that eventually falls off. And handle bar end mirrors don't cut it for me.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great mirror

I ride in areas where obstructions and road conditions have me riding away from the side of the road. The mirror helps me easily see behind me so I dont have to turn my head away from the road. Clips on my sunglasses and holds its position the entire ride.

Thank you for your feedback.

Simple, effective, light-weight

I've been using a bar-end mirror on my drops but did not like the set up. Hard to get the right view. I've been using the Bike Peddler for a few hundred miles and find it much easier to use. It does take some getting used to and it does require me to cock my head slightly to get the mirror pointing at the traffic lane behind me, but it is much easier than looking down to the bar-end mirror.

The reason you may need to cock your head with the Bike Peddler is that your shoulder would be in the way by just glancing. If you were sitting really upright on your bike all the time, this would be easier. However, if you are on a road bike for flat bar, then you shoulder partially blocks. The slight movement of your head isn't at all bad.

Lastly, don't worry about this blocking your vision or distracting you. It really doesn't do that. You get used to it after a short while. I think I'll remove the bar-end mirror now that I rarely use it.

Thank you for your feedback.
