A rear-view mirror is the basis of a cyclist's safety

A mirror is a necessary attribute of bicycles, motorcycles and vehicles when traveling around the city or on a busy highway. Unlike cars, not every bike is equipped with this accessory. But when driving a bike, mirrors play an equally important role. Their main function is to provide a full all-round view during the movement to ensure the safety of the driver. Before stopping or turning, the cyclist must take into account the distance at which other road users are, to promptly respond to the approach of the vehicle. Traditionally, the device has a spherical shape. The design is a clamp with a rubber gasket, as well as a plastic case for secure fixation and easy removal if necessary. Some models of these bicycle accessories are equipped with additional functionality, such as flashing lights for riding at night.
