Comments about Bike Peddler Take A Look Mirror:
Up until about 5 years ago I never used any type of rear view mirror, but I'm a daily commuter and I felt like I needed an advantage when it came to traffic, especially in the winter months. I started with a handlebar mirror and it worked pretty well, but the road vibrations made the view hard to see, so I was spending too much time looking at it - not good to take my eyes off the road that long.
Then I met a friend on a local century, he was using the Take-a-Look mirror and could not speak higher praise, so I purchased one that day. It took me a couple of rides to get use the rectangle in my upper left vision, but once that hurdle was crossed, it has been a constant companion. I even use it for group mountain bike rides for quick checks on new people.
This is a great cycling tool and safety device, it gives you that key piece of info that may make the difference between an accident or a near miss.
Also, they are very durable. During long climbs I prefer not to wear glasses, on one climbed I dropped my glasses out of my Jersey's rear pocket(mirror attached). Some riders found the glasses and the mirror after a car had driven over them - glasses were DOA, but the mirror had only a few scratches and I'm still using it.

Comments about Bike Peddler Take A Look Mirror:
Does exactly what I wanted. While I have a mountain bike I did not check mountain bike as a use. I have only used it on roads (gravel and paved) so far. I can imagine that on really rough trails it might not work so well. My rating of 4 versus 5 has to do with the positioning of the mirror. I bent mine up and out so it more easily sees over my shoulder. I could use a bit more length so I could get it just an inch or so further out. With a jacket on I have to move quite a bit to see, with just a tee shirt, it works great.

Comments about Bike Peddler Take A Look Mirror:
This mirror easily attaches to and detaches from my bike glasses, yet is also stays firmly in place even on rough roads. And because it's firmly attached, I can adjust it while riding without the worry of it coming off. The mirror easily adjusts in three directions and stays put. The reflection is clear, large, and vibration free. It folds flat for storing and packing. I could easily take this with me on vacation, attach it to my sunglasses, and feel safer on my rented bike. Wonderful mirror!

Comments about Bike Peddler Take A Look Mirror:
Didn't work for me at all. Wouldn't stay where I wanted it, either on helmet or on my glasses. Flopped all over the place every time I rode over a bump in the road. I had it for 4 months and finally got fed up with it. Could not find my receipt to take it back to REI. So I sent it back to the company like the package says you can. No reply, no refund from the company after 2 months. Totally bad news all around, if you ask me.

Comments about Bike Peddler Take A Look Mirror:
I've used other mirrors, with plastic attaching points. However, a friend showed me his Take a Look mirror and said it was the best out there. I ordered one for myself. He was right. It's simple, lightweight, gives a wide view, and is durable.
Only very minor complaint is that the small covers for the three attaching prongs sometimes slip off and are easily lost. A bit of tape on the prongs helps if you can't find those pieces. I'll see if the manufacturer offers those pieces separately.
It's the only mirror I recommend.

Comments about Bike Peddler Take A Look Mirror:
I purchased this helmet-mounted mirror (I was originally going to install it on my bicycle safety glasse)from another venue, however it works great once you practice patience, take a little time to properly install it between your helmet visor and the helmet (visor removal may be necessary). I had gone about five miles, in the dark, before I finally got the proper angle adjusted to work for viewing traffic in the mirror. It may take you more or less time to get the proper angle adjustment, but whatever it takes it sure beats turning your head around to look at traffic. This was my first helmet-mounted mirror and it works perfectly. I won't leave home without it in the future.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Bike Peddler Take A Look Mirror:
Easily attaches to eye glasses, helmet visor or helmet adapter (available separately).
Focus on the image in the mirror, not on the mirror itself (the same as you do with your car mirror).
