Bicycles are overtaken more times than almost any other vehicle, so they more than any other vehicles need a mirror to cope with that danger from the rear. Not using one is unfair to other road users who have no idea if you are aware of their approach, which the slight turn of the head confirms if you have a mirror.

I am not in total agreement with you Tony. Well, maybe i wasn´t precise with what i meant by poor eyesight. In my case I´ve got Nistagmus. My problem is focusing on small things quickly. But I´ll follow your advice and look for a suitable mirror. Hope I won´t need one suitable for lorries...!
