Mirrors can be useful to determine whether traffic is approaching from behind, especially when there is too much noise to hear approaching cars and trucks. Mirrors that attach to the glasses have the advantage that they are always in the same position and a quick turn of your head sweeps a large field of view. Their disadvantage is that they are always in your field of view. Mirrors that attach to the handlebars are less obtrusive, but their field of vision is smaller. Which type of mirror to use – if any – depends on personal preference.
