It is perfect! I have had to only use my side view mirrors on my bike, and on my electric trike for a while because the one I had bought locally broke.This one feels much more sturdy because the part that slides over the eyeglass side is thicker, and feels more solid. What I really love about this Third Eye is first, the name, because it really is, and the fact that it really does exactly what a rear view mirror does for the driver of a car or other vehicle: increased visibility.It is ultra simple to install it. It just slides on your glasses, (or in my case, sunglasses). No tools needed at all.Lastly, it is simple to adjust. Both the mirror and the handel are on a swivel holder. So it is easy to get it positioned just right.

First, it is difficult to attach these to eyeglasses. Once I finally got it attached it was nearly impossible to position the mirror to give me a clear view of what was behind me. It is so small that it is unsafe to use because it takes time to orient what you are actually seeing in a mirror that is smaller than the size of a quarter, then if it is off even a little bit it is unsafe to adjust the mirror while riding.I was very disappointed in this product and can't believe it has any good reviews.

My wife has worn this type of mirror on two bike trips across the USA... and she won't ride without one... this mirror is well made, solid and gives her the rear view that she likes... I ride at the front and she's always telling me when another bike or auto is coming up on us...

I'm an experienced cyclist and have been using these for about 15 years. I've logged tens of thousands of miles wearing them. I never ride without them and feel completely naked with them when on the bike - the same way you'd feel if you had no rearview mirrors in your car. Yet most of the experienced cyclists I've known (and I've known many) don't use them. I don't understand it. I've probably bought a dozen pairs over the years. I recommend (and give) pairs of these to friends. They are durable but can break usually because you repeatedly drop your glasses with them connected, or you put them on glasses with too fat stems, etc. But they're cheap.I always encourage people to wear a mirror. These are great because they turn with your head, so you can point them to where you want to look. They don't fit all glasses, and fit some better than others. If they're loose, just tape them to the stem of your glasses. I usually do tape them because I don't want them moving around.Please give yourself 2-3 weeks to get used to them and don't give up on them before then. Once get you accustomed to riding with them, you'll wonder how you ever rode without them. You can get a quick look behind you before you maneuver around a pothole, take a hit off your water bottle or start to descend a hill. Forget turning your head around to see what's coming. And when you're sixty like me (and even when you're not) you can't always hear the cars coming up on you. With the mirror on a busy road, you can watch the cars coming from behind you like a hawk. I always feel like I have a fighting chance to bail before an inattentive, texting driver hits me.When you're in a group ride and pulling at the front, you can keep an eye on the paceline to make sure you aren't dropping people, to see oncoming cars (and warn the others) and to see when someone in the back pulls over due to a flat. I used to race in triathlons. In a race, you can see if you are dropping your competitors, see if someone is (illegally) drafting you, etc. I used to leave them on for the run phase so I could similarly keep an eye on the competitors behind me.It goes without saying that I heartily recommend these mirrors.

This mirror works fine, takes a couple times of riding to get used to it, but I found it adjusts easily and has plenty of range of motion for adjustment. If you adjust it correctly you simply turn your head a tiny bit to see cars behind you.I would never rely on this mirror in checking traffic before making a turn, of course look over your shoulder for that! This is more to keep from a car coming up on you to surprise you or to warn you if someone is too close to the curb not giving you enough riding room.(The instructions say that the mirror is unbreakable, which is nice to know that even if I don't survive the accident that I can pass the mirror down to my heirs : ))There have been some other reviews that state the mounting arm is cheap and breaks easily, while this hasn't happened to me yet I have examined the mount and way it attaches to your glasses. There is a very easy solution if the mount breaks, it can be secured with inexpensive cable ties from your local hardware store. These cable ties are pennies, you can get a whole bag for a few dollars and they will easily secure the mirror to your glasses arm. The issue with this is you will need them semi-permanently mounted to your glasses which means you'll need a dedicated pair of glasses for bicycling. The ties can be carefully cut off with a razor or good knife if you need to undo the mount.This unit is only $10 so you can't complain too much about the durability, the mirror itself is very durable and is optically of a very high quality, so I can't see complaining about this unit even if the mount breaks. Its only ten bucks. I give it 4.5 stars.HINT: you may want to start off my leaving this mounted to a pair of glasses that you can use as a dedicated pair of riding glasses. This will probably prevent the mount from even breaking if you leave it on. Even if this isn't your first choice, it will make the unit last longer & it probably won't break at all. Taking the mount on and off every time you ride is going to put extra stress on the mount & of course it probably will eventually break. I leave mine mounted to a cheap pair of polarized glasses for $15 that rival my expensive Maui Jim glasses in performance.HINT 2: Measure your glasses arm before you buy this. If the arms on your glasses are wider than about 1 cm you may have trouble getting this mount to sit right. If you wanted to mount it in a semi-permanent fashion with the cable ties I previously mentioned you should have no trouble on thicker arms, but I think this unit was designed to work with glasses arms that are not overly thick or not more than a cm wide.Hope this has been helpful!
