Am I sad

If you position it correctly you might catch a glimpse of other cyclists waving back at you, ones that would have otherwise been counted on the list of miserable bastards.

Seeing as I’m in Crawley, might even be you Tim!

And I’ve just noticed I’m not a newbie anymore!! I’m A REGULAR with a Mirror

 

[SpokeyDokey]

I’m losing count already but still fairly even. Very good point about the Lycra

Maybe you ought to have started a poll?

I was going to lol but didn’t know how

Hmmm! Thinking we might have to introduce tests before raising members to the exalted heights of Regular.

Just start a thread in Site Support and some kindly souls will help you out.

Noooooo I’m so proud of my Regular status lol.

Give it a month and you’ll be tucking your vest into your pants. Get a grip. Flog the mirror to some old git on CTC forum and start craning your neck a bit more.

No problem from me, but then again I prefer my own homemade helmet mirrors..... As someone else posted, whatever works for you, don't let other people dictate.

FWIW I have reflectors on my mtbs. Why? Because I go night riding now and again, and I'd rather be seen when I cycle up to the trails on a public road (plus a rear light as well). The number of times I've read in some juvenile cycling literature that it's seriously uncool just makes me laugh. But I'm older and I really don't care. The lemming herd can take care of itself.

My Cateye mirror has "RACING" printed on the back of it.
Doesn't get much cooler than that

Yup, mine as well. Wish I could find a better one though.

OKAY so I admit. I bought a mirror for my Hybrid!! It’s solid and has a great field of vision. Only problem is my mates haven’t stopped taking the mickey out of me yet . Don’t worry I have broad shoulders but tell me what does the community think?

I have an offside mirror on all my bikes except the folders. All the mirrors are the same and they came from Decathlon £ 3.99. Fantastic and wouldn't be without them now. I was using the wife's folder today after taking my car in for a service and boy did I feel vulnerable not being to keep a weather eye to the rear. It could be your mates don't know the benefits of a mirror or even how to use one. Or it could be that you've dared to be different with a mind of your own.

Thanks. Gaga I’ll show them this tomorrow when we cycle down the pub.
