Absolutely! I ride with the same type of mirror (the Take-a-Look) and can't imagine life without it!Originally Posted by jobob
It's nice to see how, the longer one rides, the less concerned one becomes about how "cool" they look to others.
Safety, comfort and practicality trumps cool, everytime. IMHO.

Zoom-zoom, what mirror do you have? I'm looking at bar-end mirrors.
I shall also keep the flat-bar one in mind for a hypothetical commute bike.At least I don't leave slime trails.

I use this mirror all the time on a number of my bikes. It's my favorite mirror and has good visibility.

Yup, don't leave home without it. If I do I ride back to go get it as I almost cannot ride without it.
