Review on πŸ” Sprintech Road Drop Bar Rearview Bike Mirror - Single, Left Side Dropbar, Black - Enhancing Cycling Safety and Visibility by Tylin Meyer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wow, what a neck protector!

I've found nothing more tiring than turning your head like an owl, which is the most primitive way of finding a car on the road. Why do I have to twist the vertebrae like this if I want to visually detect an approaching car from behind? Why should I give up cycling if I didn't sleep properly on my neck last night? This mirror solves many of these perceived problems and for such limited bank balance withdrawals too! The viewing angle is wide and I sometimes bump into a mirror while kicking my knee, but no refractive technology has been so beneficial to the user of this review! I explain that while this subtle metallic sheen of the reflective material has gained, it does not replace the absolute knowledge that in any situation it is possible to turn your head behind your back, this will save you from many head turns; and save your neck. Its slim form factor is aesthetically pleasing and fits snugly into the end of the drop bar, almost looks like nature birthed it right inside my bike! Certainly more pleasing to the eye than the classic road bike mirror rigs with that extended arm stretching out over there. Seriously, will you be one of those cyclists? Although there is a double sided option (2 mirrors) at a reduced price per piece, I explain that having a mirror on the pedestrian side of my modern penny is unnecessary. Having a mirror only on the road/car side of the bike is very asymmetric, but not only is it cost effective, it covers 95% of all applications. I highly recommend this mirror.

Pros
  • Bike mirror
Cons
  • No power
