I started using a mirror 25 or so years ago and now I feel totally
vulnerable without one. I prefer helmet mounted mirrors but it's so
frustrating when the glue gives out and I end up using 1/2 a roll of
duct tape and look like some zombie from trash can world. My last helmet
mirror finally came off (from the duct tape) and I got a mirror that
attaches to the bow of my spectacles. I like it except I am so forgetful
I either wear it all day or it takes me a day to find it once I've taken
it off.
I believe mirrors should be required along with helmets. Most
importantly, it all but eliminates the dangerous twist 'n' turn you must
do before changing lanes or turning left. I wish bike rodeos and such
would give workshops on mirror use and give our mirrors with helmets. I
get so used to having mine on that when I'm walking, I automatically
check for the mirror before I move from the right to the left side of
the sidewalk.
