I've used a handle bar mirror for a couple of years first on a leisure bike and now on my road bike.
I had the ones that velcroed on and don't care at all for them, I can never get them on tight enough and they seem always to shift, also it gets in the way when I go down in the drops. I am constantly adjusting it due to road chatter.
Advantage: wide range of vision when adjusted correctly, easy to look at
Bought a helmet mirror on Monday.
I am like the guy that wears both a belt and suspenders. I still have my handlebar mirror on until I get used to the helmet mirror
I think I will like the helmet mirror better in the long run because I'll have it no matter which bike I am on (I don't have a mirror on my old mtn bike and the road one doesn't fit), it is easy to adjust and stays in place
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
