I’ve posted here wondering about a computer for commuting and some of the comments recommended against using a computer set up since I have a bag on the back (I guess because the sensor mounts to the seat post)
Saw these pop up on social media and wondering if they work ok? I have a big head and big beard, so idk if the mirror would clear the side of my head & beard.
Not looking to go wired camera yet as I use the bike for longer rides on my days off. Not that it adds enough weight but just don’t want that set up for those rides.
Cheapish enough to give them a shot, and I’d only use them when I’m riding on surface streets, which is only 1-2 days a week. I’m less concerned about other cyclists because I’m slow, they will pass me. More concerned about making it across the street safely while I’m already rolling.

Give it a shot. I’d be interested in how well they work. Hell, I might give them a shot myself. I would like to be able to see behind me for a few stretches of road, but also like just turning my head because of the “objects appear bigger” thing with little mirrors like that.
Plenty of feedback on them here: https://www.reddit.com/r/cycling/comments/1djkb50/a_heads_up_about_trieye_glasses/
I use these paired with a Garmin Varia radar. I like them enough that I barely use my oakleys anymore.
The bad thing about these is that they fog up easier than any other glasses i have tried. I dont know why these fog up so easier compared to my oakley sutros that are essentially the same shape.
I have a pair. The mirror works great with slight head movements. It’s most useful when you’re merging across traffic
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to purchase a handlebar mirror? Plus the TriEye only allows you to check your left side. YMMV, but I often have to check both sides while on the road.
Hell man, I’ve got PTSD and I might wear these just watch behind me easier
