    Just When I Thought It Was Safe To Back Outside!!

    But if you cycling at night a mirror is pretty much useless really compared to a Garmin Varia which will tell you how fast a car is coming towards you how many cars is coming towards you a mirror cannot do that for you at all i do agree a mirror is handy but it cannot do what a varia can do for...
