Bicycle mirror Saved my Life!

This is why we always have mirror on our bikes 👌
Paid collaboration with @the_beam_eu

We highly recommend having mirror on the bicycle.As you can see at least once having mirror saved Peyman’s life.
But we always find the bike mirrors big and a bit heavy.

For our current cycling project across Eurooe and Africa we done a bit of reaserch and finaly decided to use Corky Mirros from @the_beam_eu . So far we have used these for 1.5 months daily and we been happy with the performance. Specially the new verson which is very flexiable and more ressistent to accidents and rough handeling.

Having a mirror on your bike can save your life. This is a good example. This happened to me few years ago when I was cycling across East Africa in Kenya. If I didn’t have mirror over here, I wouldn’t be here standing and talking with you. This is why when I cycle around the world and I cross continents, I would love to have a mirror always on my bicycle. But one of the issues I face with the bicycle mirrors is they’re quite heavy and they’re quite big. Therefore, for our current cycling trip all the way from Estonia to South Africa, which is a little bit more than 24,000 kilometers, I wanted to find a mirror which is really light, small, and works. Then I came across this mirror which I can open it anytime I need and I can close it easily anytime I don’t need it and it gets mounted easily on the end of my handlebar grips. This mirror, it’s the older version and the plastic over here, it’s hard, but they have a newer version which it’s made out of kind of rubber. So, it’s really flexible and that means when the mirror is open and if you fall down, it’s much more resistant to the accident and it’s not going to break down so easily. But either way, you need to remember whenever you don’t need it, you just close this mirror.
