Comments about Mirrycle Mountain Bike Mirror:
I have been using this mirror on my mountain bike for over 5 years and have recently added it to my flat bar commuter bike as well. It is highly versatile and adjustable; you can set the angle easily and precisely to match your riding position and purpose. The field of view is large and clear. This thing is tough! Even after multiple spills on my mountain bike there are still only a few scuff marks on the plastic. The mirror swivels safely out of the way if you fall on it or pass a tree too closely. Riding in traffic is a breeze with this mirror, cars are visible from a long distance. Overall a great buy.

Comments about Mirrycle Mountain Bike Mirror:
Just moved back to Los Angeles and wanted to add some safety for commuting to work, yes biking in L.A. around clueless drivers who aren't used to cyclists. Was looking for a sturdy and practical mirror that wasn't going to vibrate, rattle loose, or be difficult to adjust like the junk I've tried before. Found the answer. Don't let the assembly required intimidate you, once it's installed, the myrricle is awesome; the pivot points are perfect, I can fold it out of the way if I'm weaving around light posts or cars, then flip it back in position; the mirror gives you a perfect wide clear view, no vibration so it's not blurry, and it's tough. Just wiped out yesterday when I braked hard to avoid hitting a stray bunny (jumped out of nowhere, some little kid is in tears right now to loose her little bunny), the mirror slammed the pavement too, but thanks to it's adjustability, it folded and absorbed the shock upon impact, and the mirror glass remained intact. Fantastic. And if any part breaks, you can order each individual replacement part from the manufacturer. Tiny washers were missing from my package, I emailed and called the company, and I got the missing parts in the mail in two days, no problem.

I installed this mirror on my mountain bike for riding around on Seattle streets. It was easy to install and feels solid on the bike. Now that I have this mirror, I feel more confident riding around on city streets.

I like practical products that are easy to use and offer big value; I like this mirror.
Simple to install and intuitive to use on the road, this mirror is my new favorite bike accessory. The swivel-outta-the-way feature is nice and doesn't seem to compromise its sturdiness.
Since I mostly ride with headphones, this mirror gives me extra peace of mind and visual information critical to both my safety and enjoyment. I see cars clearly (lots of SUVs in these here parts!) and the size is sufficient to allow my peripheral vision to do the work.

Comments about Mirrycle Mountain Bike Mirror:
Good product. Bought a cheaper one first from Cat Eye - luckily it didn't fit my handlebar, because after inspecting it I realized it wasn't very good.
This one costs more, but it is worth it. I commute 8 miles round-trip every day (and often late at night) in busy Orange County, CA streets and after adding this mirror I feel much more confident. For a commuter using busy streets, a good mirror is really a necessity.
Any mirror that fits will work, of course, but this one has many positive qualities that I feel make it better than cheaper models.
It is extremely durable. The installation instructions say to not worry about breaking it, and to screw it in as tightly as you physically can. So I did, and what doing that does is make you realize how well-made it is. It really isn't going to break.
It adjusts easily and stays in place - it is a little stiff while adjusting, but goes right where you want it, and only moves if you want it to (or if you hit something with it, I guess.)
It is made of glass so is easy to clean and won't scratch easily. Never had a problem with visibility even though it gets quite dirty and dusty here.

Works great on my Greenspeed GTT (tandem recumbent trike). Go ahead and tighten it up tightly, it can take it.
