Hey now... A helmet-mounted mirror is inconvenient (keeps getting banged around when I take the helmet off), but the earpieces on my glasses are too narrow and round to clip a mirror on. This looks like a clever way of solving the problem.

Lexica & Antara,
I appreciate your review and comment. Its a slow-go getting cyclist to warm up to mirrors (if you don't already use them)... there seems to be many who don't utilize this "no-brainer" safety tool because of how it makes them look (a "Fred").

If that isn't your concern, then I hope the low price of my product will get riders to wear it, to see the real "crazy" ones... the car drivers.
Thanks, Bruce

MessengerMirror allows you to view things approaching from behind and increases your safety on a bicycle when cars are present. Cooked up by a cyclist who was looking for a cycling mirror and found the available products (T-a-L, 3rdi) were too expensive, had their design flaws, and all were too bulky to have in his face.
