    mirror

    Aspire VeloTech sells : The Italian Road Bike Mirror which is a small mirror which "plugs" into the end of your drop bar. 25.00. I've only heard good things about them.
    I'm going to order one, because I can't have any competing motion around my eyes, I get really, really motion sick.
    This mirror doesn't stick out, is very unobtrusive, and looks great on a bike.
    Good luck!

    I have had the Italian Road Bike Mirror for about 1.5 mos, tho I might switch it out to a Sprintech (Iggy, if you're interested, email me). The mirror is great, my only issue is that it goes over the bars with these big fins and is held on with your tape. If you ride with your hands at the ends of the drops ever, your left hand is resting on the bulk of the fins under the tape. Might not be an issue for everyone, but I have issues with my left wrist so the jury is still out. Anyone with a Sprintech who can comment on how well it stays in position? I do have the grab the IRBM and squish it to the right place sometimes, but it doesn't move too far.

    I've got similar in concept to the Italian Road mirror. May be the same thing. Pull out the bar plug and put the mirror in. It's slightly convex so you get a pretty good view and adjustable.

    Suits my purposes pretty well.

    Thanks for the great suggestions. I was really intrigued by the Mirrycle for road bikes, but it has been recalled. I still think I would like the mountain bike Mirrycle. I'm leaning toward the Sprintech for my drop bars. I like the quality of the Italian mirror, but prefer the way the Sprintech mounts.
