I had several other mirrors for my comfort bike previously. One clipped to my helmet - horrible, and another fit the end of the handlebar but never was secure. The Cateye is the best of the lot. It attaches easily and securely, and it adjusts to a good viewing position and provides clear views. It also stays out of the way of your hand as you ride. You do have to cut off the end of the handlebar grip, but that is easily done. Very happy with this product - I ordered another for my wife's bike.

The screw that is supposed to tighten the mirror in place once it is positioned doesn't tighten properly and even a slight bump will cause the mirror to mis-align.

When I got my bicycle I bought one of those little velcro on mirrors and it was terrible. I wasted my money. So I started looking for a replacement. This one works great. You get a wonderful view of what's behind you. And for the price it can't be beaten. If you need a bicycle mirror this is a great one to consider.

I love this mirror, swivels very good and does not get loose (so far, about 2 month use) Was able to install it by using provided instructions!

Simple to install but the mirror does not stay in place. Just riding my bike on a smooth road caused the mirror to move out of adjustment. Totally worthless.

The plug was too small for my handle. I had to wrap it with tape to prevent it from falling off. It constantly turn because it was still too loose. I had to buy another mirror with screw on mount on the handle bar.

Nice adition to my bike, makes me feel more confidence when riding thru the trafic. I have the right one and now I'm looking for the left.
This accesorie gives you a good vision of coming vehicles and this it's very important when you are travelling in highways or heavy traffic roads.

Easy to install and you can turn it in to diferent positions in order to have a good rear vision.

This mirror features a horrible design, which is apparent as soon as you set it up. Mountain bike bars are usually straight with the grips on either end, right? You mount the mirror on the end of the grips, and the plastic bar holding the mirror slants inward. This is right where your arm is when you're holding the grips!

Unless you have the (left hand) mirror positioned to look WAY to your left, part of your arm will always be reflected in the inner part of the mirror. It's still functional, but it's obnoxious. The mirror should tilt outward from the bars, not inward.

Next time, I think I'm just going to buy a helmet mirror.

I feel so much more comfortable riding now that I have this mirror. It has a nice shape and size to it so I can easily see traffic coming. It is also fully adjustable and easy to attach.

This is a very good mirror. The only problem was that I had a little difficulty getting it for the other side. I like to have both on either side of the handle bars. The screws at the side don't keep it firm enough for me, so I glue both of them in with rubber cement so I am good to go.
