    Guess that makes us road geeks instead Wish the "roadies" would get over the elitist attitude and we could get work together to promote cycling instead of bickering among ourselves. We have enough problems with dogs and cars and the ignorance of non-cyclists without being snubbed by other cyclists.

    Didn't mean to drift here. I've used the bar end mirrors and am currently using the sunglasses mirror. There are pros and cons to both. Bar end mirrors have to be readjusted each time you put your bike down. Sunglasses mirror has to be readjusted each time you put it on and is easy to forget My preference is the bar end mirrors like Miranda suggested.

    Yes, people find the weirdest things to get snobby about. Jeez, what's wrong with wanting to stay well hydrated with a Camelbak? Ha ha!

    Anyway, for me sunglass and helmet mirrors seem to shake a lot, even the really nice ones, and that irritates me. I never have a shake problem with the bar-end mirror I have now. It just brings home the point that if you can try something out before buying it, you should. I have bought or been given some mirrors that weren't terrific, and only my latest bar-end mirror has proven the best yet.
