FLCCers,
I just got a partial delivery on an order for helmet-mounted rear view
mirrors with FLCC art on the back of the mirror. These are made by Chuck
Harris who has been making arguably the best cycling mirrors in the
world for a couple decades or more -- they're a long-time green product,
using old bike spokes, recycled plastic and bits of mirrors. I've been
using one for several years and find it completely indispensable. It
mounts really solid on the helmet so you don't have to worry about
bumping it out of adjustment and the pretty big mirror gives a fairly
big angle of view behind you.
I know there are lots of people who don't want or need mirrors. Bless
them. For myself, though, it's really irritating to be on a bike without
a mirror. It has become so natural to be able to glance behind me that
I'm often startled not to be able to do it when I'm walking down the
street. I would urge you to give mirrors a serious try. It just makes
you so much more comfortable on the road.
This minute there are 9 mirrors available at 15$ each. Pictures are on
the FLCC website,

Call me if you want one; first come first served.
