7 Reasons You Need A Bicycle Mirror

1: Be a ‘Smarter’ Rider

With a glance, a rider has more information regarding road conditions, fellow riders, and other vehicles.
 

2: Maneuver More Efficiently

Allows more predictability in traffic patterns while maneuvering. However, NEVER rely on just a glance to determine where you are in traffic.
 

3: Monitor Fellow Riders

All riders have unintentionally dropped their friends while riding. A quick glance will let you immediately know if your riding companions are falling behind.
 

4: Be Safer

Having a awareness of your surroundings increases a rider’s safety.
 

5: Feel a Sense of Control

This is a subjective idea as a person can view a riding environment in multiple directions.

6: Monitor Changes in Surroundings

Riding environments can change suddenly in either direction.
 

7: Potentially Avoid Accidents

If there is a danger approaching, the idea is to provide a device that will potentially allow the rider time to react.
