I was skeptical that a product with this low price tag could adjust to my glasses and required angle of vision and prove sturdy enough to qualify as a keeper.
I was wrong. Bike Peddler’s Take a Look eyeglass mirror does both.
It must be said that an eye-glass-attached mirror is not for every cyclist. Some body types—mine included—make it difficult to get a helpful angle of vision over the hunched shoulders of the in-action cyclist. A handle-bar-mounted mirror has some advantages here.
Yet the dexterity and light weight of the eyeglass approach has its compensating virtues. I’ve trained myself to glance up slightly and focus on an 11:30 clock position to gain security that no car or other cyclist is on my left flank before I pass or turn left. A little effort makes the ‘Take a Look’ an ally in the battle of the road.
It would be too much to call this a revolutionary product. Yet, price and capacity combine to make it a potential game-changer. Skepticism not firmly in my rear view mirror, I’m a fan.
