A rearview mirror is also required for bicycles to run safely! "CatEye Bar End Mirror" Review

It's been three and a half years since I bought the GIANT ESCAPE RX1 cross bike. It was an expensive purchase for me, but the ride quality and operability are outstanding, and I am very satisfied with no regrets. In three and a half years, the breakdown was that the wire for shifting the derailleur was replaced and the tires on the rear wheels were worn out and replaced. Other than that, there are no problems and it is in good condition.

I'm biking within 10km of my house unless it's raining. Kill two birds with one stone because it doesn't use gasoline, so it's kind to the earth and you wallet, and it makes you feel better as you exercise. Thankfully, the city of Nagoya is almost flat in the direction of Nagoya Station and Sakae Station, so you can move easily. There are some ups and downs around Imaike, Ikeshita, and Kakuozan, but if you change gears, you can run without any problems.

We pay close attention when riding, but the number of bicycle accidents is increasing. I usually run on the edge of a one-way road, but the bicycles that run in the opposite direction do not end. Before, when I was careful that it was a reverse run, I was disappointed I can catch a car completely, but I can not catch a bicycle, so I leave it unattended. Such a bicycle causes an accident, but if you get caught up in such a bicycle, the driver who is driving the car seriously is unbearable.

Aside from that, when I was running and when I changed lanes or before turning, I bent my head back about 120 degrees to check the back. Suddenly, when I asked Amazon why there is no rearview mirror on the bicycle, a mirror to be attached to the grip end was on sale.

If you have a rear-view mirror, you can check backwards without looking back, so I decided to purchase it immediately. This time I bought "CatEye Bar End Mirror" which is a top manufacturer of bicycle parts.

Either drop bar or flat bar can be attached. RX1 is a flat bar, but I could install it without any problem. Since the lens is made of glass, it has good transmittance and looks clear.

Although it is a small size with a diameter of 45 mm, it has good visibility because it has a wide viewing angle. You can check the car firmly not only during the day but also at night.

Thanks to this, it is now possible to check backwards without having to turn around. There is no car without a rear-view mirror, so I feel that a rear-view mirror is necessary for bicycles.

If you ride a bicycle frequently, please consider this "CatEye Bar End Mirror". There is no doubt that you can drive more safely and securely.
