Bike Rear View Mirrors

This morning, I overtook a guy and thought I may have been too abrupt or that he was trying to draft behind me.

I moved my eye up and to the left to check my rear view mirror.

I didn't see anything at first.

Then I remembered I didn't have my helmet on, and that I was actually walking.

Old habits...

For the record, I have a Bike Peddler Take A Look Mirror taped to my helmet.

Stay Safe,

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Nice habit!

One of my pet peeves is other cyclists or pedestrians NOT doing the mirror/shoulder check when stepping out or passing. They just drift right out.

It's these people that need to have a rear-view mirror glued permanently to the side of their head :-S

That is true. Thanks for sharing! We should all be careful, as we are likely in the minority with being extra safe.
