Sports reviews of Mirrycle MTB Bar End Mountain Bicycle Mirror
Customer Review: Great mirror for biking with children
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This mirror is extremely helpful when biking with children. It gives a nice clear view behind you and because it can be positioned well out to the side you can angle the mirror so that you can see a kid riding behind you on a trailer bike or even in a back-of-the-bike seat. It also great for keeping track of riders in your group who are following you. I strongly recommend it for families who bike with younger children. I had first tried the "Ventura Flexi Bicycle Mirror" Ventura Flexi Bicycle Mirror which is a bit cheaper, but that mirror was awful. It vibrated like crazy, wouldn't stay positioned and couldn't be placed on the end of the handlebars. By comparison the Mirrcycle mirror is absolutely wonderful.Customer Review: The best I have ever used
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have tried and used six different mirrors over the past five years and this one beats the lot hands down. It allows a wonderful view of the back and Is large enough to catch the eye instantly even when not looking directly into the mirror...you can still see motion. I now have one of these on my hybrid and one on my road bike. Installation (if you follow the directions, something I do not do too often, alas) is a snap. We have a horrid problem with "Dukes of Hazard" types (brain dead A.H.s) around where I live and this thing has literally been a life saver several times. I also travel over some pretty rough roads and the vibration on this one is almost nil. You cannot beat the price they are offering here. I paid much more for mine at a local bike store.Customer Review: Great Mirror
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I am using two of these on my TerraTrike Path 8 recumbent tadpole trike. The mirrors come in pieces but assemble really quickly with the included hex wrench and fit easily into the end of the TerraTrike handlebars using the smaller of the two "wedges" provided. (Obviously, they won't fit a bike/trike with bar end shifters.) One nice feature of them that might not be immediately obvious is that the knurled section of the mirror mount (which is parallel to the ground when installed on the TerraTrike) makes a nice place to mount accessories. I have a bike computer/speedometer readout on my left mirror and a headlight on my right one. Incidentally, the Amazon price is about the lowest that I found (and I got free shipping!).Customer Review: Finally, I found a mirror that works.

I have tried the helmet mounts, the eyeglass mounts, the Blackburn bar mounts. None worked for me.
This did. Not too much different than a car mirror.
I liked it so much I bought two, one for each side. If I had a third side, I'd buy three.
Easy to set up, though the instructions could frighten you. I you have ever set a toggle bolt in a wall or used an expansion shield in concrete, you will be familiar with the process ... just a sliding wedge that you tighten with the supplied 3mm allen wrench. Much like the way that quill stems are (were?) tightened.
Stays in place, doesn't vibrate much, easy to switch focus between the road ahead and the mirror behind.
Customer Review: how can you ride a bike safely without a mirror?
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
You are taking your life in your hands every time you get on a bike and ride in traffic. You have to give yourself every advantage you can: wear a helmet (!), wear visible clothing, have flashing lights on the back of the bike, a bright headlight on the front of the bike, spoke lights or reflectors for night riding, and A GOOD FUNCTIONAL MIRROR so you can see when it is safe to make a lane change or anticipate a vehicle approaching you from the rear, or another rider, for that part. I have used this mirror for years now, and I can't express enough how much I miss it when I ride a bike without a mirror such as this. I can't recommend this mirror enough. If you don't have a mirror, buy one today! And ride safely.
