Review on 🚲 Enhance Your Safety with Third Eye Eyeglass Bicycle Mirror! by Michael Thaxton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everyone should have a pair or two

I am an experienced cyclist and have been using them for about 15 years. I've ridden it for tens of thousands of miles. I never ride without them and I feel completely naked on the bike with them - like there are no rear-view mirrors in the car. However, most experienced cyclists I know (and I've known many) don't use them. I do not understand that. I've probably bought a dozen pairs over the years. I recommend (and give) a few of these to friends. They're durable but can usually break because you keep dropping a pair of glasses they're connected to, or putting them on glasses with legs that are too thick, etc. But they're cheap. I always encourage people to carry a mirror. This is great because they rotate with your head so you can tell them where to look. They don't fit all glasses, and some fit better than others. If they are loose, simply attach them to the glasses temple. I usually write them down because I don't want them to move. Please give yourself 2-3 weeks to get used to it and don't give it up too soon. Once you get used to riding with them, you'll wonder how you used to ride without them. You can take a quick look around before maneuvering around a pothole, drinking a bottle of water, or driving down a hill. Forget turning your head to see what's going on. And when you're over sixty like me (and even if you're not), you don't always hear cars approaching you. With a mirror on a busy road, you can watch the cars coming behind you like a hawk. I always feel like I have a chance to save myself before an inattentive SMS driver hits me. People, see oncoming cars (and warn others) and see if someone behind them pulls over for the apartment. I used to compete in triathlons. In a race you can see if you are dumping your competitors, see if someone has (illegally) confiscated you, etc. I used to leave them on during the racing phase to keep an eye on the competitors behind me in the same way. It goes without saying that I can wholeheartedly recommend these mirrors.
