Mirrors aren't a substitute for looking over your shoulder before a manoeuvre, but they do cut down an the constant glancing needed while riding. You don't really want your slick road bike to start looking like a scooter from Quadrophenia, so in that respect, this mirror strikes a good balance between functionality and design. There are two downsides - firstly, it needs constant readjustment (it gets nudged very easily), and secondly, the vision of area is fairly limited, so I can't stress enough that this device isn't a substitute for over-the-shoulder glances at key times.

Bought this for a London to Paris trip I was leading and it proved worth its weight in gold. This year, unlike last, I didn't suffer from neckache from looking back constantly, I could easily track people behind me without changing position. On busy roads it's brilliantly for making you aware of what's coming up from behind too.

Zefal usually make reasonable stuff. This is cheap but attaches easily. That is not the problem. One doesn't expect much for about £8. It is small,light and unobtrusive thou. The problem is it's functionality. One can't see in the mirror for your arm and riding position on drop bars. If one does move about one still can't see as the mirror is small and even with careful manovering/positioning of the mirror I still could not see. Moves about from vibration also. Just takes too long to focus the eyes on behind you in the mirror. I would go so far as too say it could be a hazard if you take your eyes off the road for too long trying to use it. Total waste of money and I would return it if I could. Only use would be for combing your hair or cleaning your teeth when touring and stationary. BorocavalierRead full review
