I tried a helmet mounted mirror and didn't like it. I wouldn't ride a bike on the roads without a mirror. It's a necessity, not a luxury.
forgive my ignorance, what is a good mounted mirror??
I appreciate all the input so far. I had a bar mounted one from Amazon come in. It’s better than nothing but taking up a lot of the very precious room on the bars. Definitely looking into a helmet mount. Or possible glasses mount. It’s just up to this point I haven’t worn any glasses while riding. Since all my riding has been at night thus far
