Electric Pocket Bikes: Blackburn Mountain Bike Mirror Review

Bought one of these locally to try it out and paid full price, after my kids complained their handlebar mount mirrors on their new bikes were obscured by their body and did not give a clear view.

After trying out the Blackburn on several bike rides to see how it performed, I ordered 4 more for my kids and spouse to use on their bikes.Everyone actually tried out the first one and liked it.Depending on your grip, our bikes have ergo type, it should be secure.

I tried it on a pavement ride and a bumpy off road trail and the mirror stayed in position for the most part.Instead of putting a hole in my grip this strap on with velcro worked out fine. I remove it when off the bike.It is also useful to take on a trip if you rent bikes.

I had a handle bar mount Mirrycle on the grip end on my former bike and it broke when the bike got knocked over while unattended.It was too costly to continually replace the parts as the Mirrycle is glass.

Also the view is wide like a US auto's righthand side mirror and you can watch you kids behind you as well as the approaching traffic.

Don't waste your money on standard bike mirrors as they are really useless and don't give a good view.A wide view mirror works best mounted on your grip end, whether permanent or removable as is this Blackburn.
