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

I used this for a short period of time because I switched to garmin radar. The advantage of this mirror is being able to see all objects behind you, not just cars.

Mirror works great and is very useful

I bought this under pressure from a friend and my wife.never thought I get one. It takes some time to adjust to find a sweet spot for the best view (but I believe that would be true of all riding mirrors). It also takes some getting used to a mirror on several levels. However, once you do, there is no looking back. I love it and from a safety standpoint, you are the 1st to yell Car-Back!. Lastly, its great to see how far back some in your group are so you can keep the ride together and no one gets dropped on a No Drop ride.

After trying various rear view mirrors, this is by far the best, fully adjustable mirror I've ever had.

It takes a little time to get the fitadjustment dialed in the first time (like most things) but its great. I feel naked when I don't have it. Really provides security and safety being able to see what is coming up behind you!!

This is the second one of these that I've had. Love them. When I was racing bikes, I don't know of anyone that would be caught with a mirror, including me. But, with distracted driving becoming the default and no longer living in a low traffic area, having an idea of what's behind me in traffic could save my skin. It weighs next to nothing, requires minimal care and can be adjusted to provide a good view of what's in your 6. I don't leave home on a ride without this thing nowadays.

After several years of trying to get other mirrors to work, a friend lent me a Take a Look and I have used it ever since- that was 25 years ago! Put it on your glasses and use its great adjustability and you have excellent rear vision. It is absolutely the best cycling mirror available!

Unlike other models with plastic frames that easily break, this metal frame is durable and easy to fit on most eyeglass frames. I rely on this mirror for monitoring traffic behind, and being head-mounted, you can sweep the entire scene behind you. This mirror is a great asset for enhanced safety.

I have two helmets and I have this mirror on each one. I tried other mirrors and I found that this one worked the best. I am very satisfied with this mirror.

Use for road cycling. Took me a while to figure out proper placement on my helmet visor. Finally mounted it with a zip tie. Works good, has very good optics. Much better than most bike mirrors. Price was good from BTD!

I know, I know...roadies would never be caught dead using a rear view mirror. Well, all I can say is that over the past few years my life has been saved from certain murder by idiot drivers making that right hand turn inches right across my right of way. I refuse to ride unless my rear view mirror is on my shades.

I think those who disdain using them have never really given them any sort of one month trial. Perhaps they are afraid they will actually find them very useful. Being able to see traffic behind you is a must with all the distracted drivers constantly trying to murder bicyclists and it is only getting worse every day.

I like this one because it's easy to use and it's the right length. I've tried ones that attach to the bike and one's that attach to the helmet, and this one is my preferred mirror.

I like this rear view mirror because it goes on my glasses and not on my helmet. The only problem with this mirror for some people is that it willl not fit on their glasses. I've been using a mirror like this since 1998 - all the way across country!!

Mounted this on my back up helmet, since I would never ride without this safety device in South Carolina(SC), the roads are just too narrow, the teens drive too fast, then there are those on cell phones doing what ever. This mirror stays where it is put, even on these rough SC roads, very impressed with this product. Con - could be a bit longer, just an opinion.

Best visibility, ease of attachment, and (so far) durability.

I've had several if these. Which is not to say that they are fragile but rather small and I have lost some over time. I live near very narrow and twisty old roads and this helps me see the cars before I hear them. I tried other mirrors a long time ago but never found any that were particularly useful so I keep coming back to this one. Most use a plastic mirror that has bad optics and too much vibration. This mirror is much higher quality and the attachment arm is more solid. I set it up so I do have to turn my head a touch to view the traffic rather than always having it in direct view. But it works much better than alternatives and is pretty low profile. I do prefer the larger version.

nice product, mirror size is adequate, fits my Oakley flak jackets, one thing about a mirror like this is it's always in your peripheral vision which I don't like. I used it on Cycle Oregon Weekend to honor the mirror requirement.

After riding years without a mirror, this was a great safety improvement. The price is very reasonable. The mirror (compact version) mounts & removes easily from my glasses. The adjustments are secure & there is no vibration. Very simple, light & works great!

If you ride in town or on roads with cars, you cannot do without one of these mirrors. Easy to use once you have it adjusted, and it stays adjusted. Easy to view behind you s there is minimal vibration.

I have used the shorter compact version of this mirror for years, and like it better than the longer mirror. It works extremely well, and is an excellent way to stay constantly aware of traffic behind you. I can't imagine cycling without one.

I discovered this mirror several years ago after breaking I don't know how many plastic mirrors trying to clip them onto my cycling glasses. Lightweight, durable, and the rectangular mirror has a much better field of vision than any of the round mirrors. Mirrors are essential for safety (would you drive a car without a rearview mirror?). This one is absolutely the best out there.
