    Comments about Cycle Aware Heads Up Eyewear Mirror:

    Overall, I loved the mirror; at first. Very convenient. Easy to adjust. A breeze to install.

    However, I would recommend leaving it on your glasses permanently. I was switching mine back and forth between safetly glasses (for riding in the early morning) and sunglasses. Ended up breaking when I was installing them. I would recommend paying two dollars more to get the "Bike Peddler Take a Look" instead. The reviews speak for themselves. It's what I'm about to get.

    Comments about Cycle Aware Heads Up Eyewear Mirror:

    I've been happy with mine and haven't experienced the problems of the other reviewer. Maybe they vary and you should check them out in the store before you buy. They don't work well if you've got very thin wire framed glasses, but they fit just fine on normal heavier plastic frames. There is a wide range of motion on the mirror so it's easy to direct it almost any way you want. I recommend it if you want to see those cars creeping up behind you. For me it's a lot easier to tilt my head slightly than it is to peer into a handlebar mounted mirror.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    "A" in concept, "D-" in execution

    Pros

    • Lightweight

    Cons

    • Breaks Easily
    • Hard to Install
    • Overpriced
    • Won't hold adjustment

    Best Uses

    Comments about Cycle Aware Heads Up Eyewear Mirror:

    This is a great idea, but a total failure in practice. The bracket intended to grab on to your eyeglasses won't hold in place without an additional wire. The mirror itself is adjusted by means of a tiny ball joint that is so loose-fitting it is thrown out of alignment by a slight breeze(!) or a bump in the road. Got tired of fussing with mine and bought a bar-end mount mirror today.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
