Mirrors

OK, help me understand. I see lots of folks on my group rides with mirrors on the bars or the helmet (or perhaps their glasses). My question is...if you are riding with a helmet, as I hope and expect we all are, then why would you fasten to your glasses instead of helmet?

I tried a helmet-mounted mirror, but it attached with sticky tape, and it just didn't stay on. It also vibrated a lot more because I guess my helmet vibrates more on my head than my glasses do. The Take-a-Look mirror mounted on my sunglasses just doesn't move. And no sticky tape to get de-stickied over time. The mounting mechanism is wire and couldn't be simpler. It can be removed and moved to a different pair of glasses if you wear more than one. And, it came highly recommended, that's why I tried it, and I love it, as stated above.

I like the Rhode Gear Multi Mirror. It attaches to the bar end instead of using a plug. It can be used either on a road bike or mountain bike. Its big, but I like that so I can see pretty well behind me. It also bends back out of the way when not in use. I've seen them at Adventure Cycling for about 18.00 under safety equipment.
