Has anyone tried a mirror that attaches to your helmet? I've had basically every bike-attached mirror, and they either wiggle free over bumps (so that they're unusable) or I hit them while my bike is on the rack and ruin them. I'm thinking maybe a helmet mirror may actually work.
I need to find the ride here... d/t GTA is not exactly road bike friendly...its bike friendly but I have a steel frame single speed for that.
I ride with a mirror like this. It fastens to my riding/sport eyeglasses. Surprisingly durable. I can rotate my head a little and change the view.One brand:
Just finished kitting out my bike for commuting/touring via the REI sale going on now. Got lights, reflectors, mud flaps, luggage rack, luggage... my bike has never had it so good. The big score was the mudflaps. I never see anyone with these and they are so amazing on a rainy day. As long as you wear a good jacket, your shoes and pants, face, backside, all stay dry and free of spatter. No more blinding flecks of road grime for this guy. Helps protect the chain from grime too.
I'm a big mud flap/fender fan - they also make it nicer to ride with others in the wet. I'm a retro kind of guy, so I went with leather/metal combo.Jim C
Looking at your pic, I can't help but wonder (serious doubts) if your ride is set up "properly." I can see your saddle is nose high, tilted back too much, which is usually considered to be a no-no. Must be doing wonders for your prostate, unless you don't have a prostate. Of course you'll likely reply that you like it that way. Compared to you handlebars, your saddle also looks like it's way too low, either that or your frame isn't the ideal size. Maybe one day you'll stop in at your local bike shop and have them look at your riding ergonomics, your positioning in the cockpit, always good to get a professional opinion.
Current fit by pros tends to focus on performance and racing, rather than comfort - Jim C
