Bicycle mirror, follow the guide!

Why choose a bicycle mirror? Whether you ride in the city or in the countryside, a bicycle mirror offers you increased visibility and quickly becomes an essential accessory for your safety.

In town or in the countryside, a bicycle mirror is an important ally for your safety. Thanks to its mirror, it allows you to see what is happening behind you without having to turn your head. This is a valuable aid in anticipating the movements of other road users and adapting your actions accordingly. In addition, many mirrors are swiveling and adjustable to ensure an optimal viewing angle.

Choosing the right bicycle mirror

Here are some tips for choosing your bike mirror :

Types of Fasteners:

1. On the handlebars or fork: These mirrors, such as the Zéfal Espion Z56 bicycle mirror, for example, are easily attached to the bicycle handlebar via a clamp. Be sure to check your handlebar diameter for proper installation
2. At the end of the handlebars: Ideal for freeing up space on the handlebars, these mirrors such as the Zefal Cyclop bicycle mirror for example are integrated into the end of the handlebars. Measure the inside diameter of your handlebars to choose the right model
3. On the handlebar horns: These mirrors like the Zefal Spin bicycle mirror for example combine the comfort of the horns with the safety of an integrated mirror

Other criteria to consider:

• Mirror Size and Shape: A larger mirror provides a wider field of vision. Convex mirrors give a panoramic view
• Mounting Side: Some mirrors are specific to the left or right side of the handlebars
• Foldable function: Practical for reducing bulk and making it easier to store the bike
