Take a Look mirror

[RubyTuesday]

I have tried two different mirrors and I just can't get used to them. The one described above was small and easier to use than the second purchase I made, but most of the roads here are fairly bumpy and you just can't get a good look with the mirror when it is bouncing around. I bought a second mirror that was bigger and had a thicker arm and it attached to my helmet. I thought it would be more stable. Honestly, it wasn't and it was always a distraction in my front vision.

I bought my mirrors because I always swerved into traffic when I was trying to turn around and get a look. An article on Livestrong finally helped me with my swerving problem.

What was recommended was for you to put your right hand as close to the stem as you felt comfortable on the top of your handlebars (this is for road bikes), then to drop your left hand down off the handlebars and turn and look behind you with your left hand by your side. Amazingly, this works for me with a little practice and I stopped the swerving into traffic trick.

Firstly I love your avatar, it's so cute.

I only ride a MTB but I get your drift, I might try it although I think I will feel a bit nervous.

Cheers for the helpful post.............. Goodbye Ruby Tuesday

I found that there is way less vibration on my glasses vs. my helmet, especially on all the chip seal we have everywhere.
