AlanR Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Has anyone found it difficult to check behind them before crossing a road etc? I find turning my head even partially can destabilise me [wobble a bit] but it is necessary before crossing a road!! I have a riding mirror which is designed to attach to sunglasses - haven't done this yet. Any better ideas [apart from learning to ride better before attempting to cross roads!]?

AlanR Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks @trya I have used the sunglass mounted mirror whilst cycling for quite some time. I didn't use a mirror when I first started riding my EUC; perhaps I should now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally used my sunglasses with a side mirror while riding today? It does take some getting used to it. I would prefer a larger or wider view as I found myself turning my head slightly. This may be more useful when passing others, and checking for clearance on the passing lane. ➰ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayRay Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I've been experimenting with an actual (tiny) rear-view mirror lately... >><< I could get one of those helmet mounted mirrors or the kind that attach to glasses, but I think a long/thin mirror attached to a visor could be more effective. So far, I haven't permanently attached the mirror to my helmet visor. However, I find it helpful to be able to see on either side behind me at a glance. In fact, despite the precarious nature of my current mounting method (a 'chip-clip'), I like being able to remove the mirror as an optional accessory...
