For Those Of You With Handlebar Mounted Mirrors, One Mirror Or Two?

[Jim1348]

I only have a single handlebar mounted mirror on both of my e-bikes. I am giving some thought to adding a second handlebar mounted mirror.

For those members here that use handlebar mounted mirrors, do you just one or do you have two mirrors?

 

[JGcycle]

Just one for me.

 

[Ihor]

Beneath or above the bars?
Why?

just one at the end of the left bar

 

[Roamers]

One above bar left

 

[Stefan Mikes]

One below bar, left.

Just one like all the above commentators. Two wouldn't fit between a lot of bollards (?), If that's the word for those posts that keep cars off the trail.

One on left side, above bars. I used to use mirricycle mirrors, but kept breaking them. They're now $16 a unit these days, I switched to $2 units from Temu. Also $3 Temu bells. $5 Temu lights,

I run 2 mirrors, one on each side, end handle bar on the right side, and the left side on the top of the bar and has a 10"+ long shank to get it out and around my body, so I can see oncoming traffic from the rear, along with my dual mini camera set up for videoing all traffic from the rear and front. ymmv

All three of my bikes have a single mirror mounted on them. I have not found to date the need to add second, given that I need vision of the side where the traffic is coming from.

If Mirrycles are installed correctly, that is beneath the bars and inwards, these do not make the bike any wider. However, two mirrors are just an overkill.

I commute with traffic. I use one mirror at the left end of the handlebar. I tried it under the handlebar, but my wrist blocked the mirror and it was annoying to look around my own arm to view the mirror properly. I have it mounted above the handlebars now. With the mirror on the left, I can quickly view the traffic behind me. Being in the US, this is ok. If I were I. The UK, I would have it on the right only. I feel there is not a need for 2, unless you plan on weaving in and out of traffic. If I had an emoto like a surron, or many of the other clones, I would have 2 mirrors.

One Mirrycles on left (US) under bar, one EVT Safe Zone helmet mirror, and Garmin Varia RTL 515. If I had to give up one, it would be the Mirrycles; the helmet mirror just requires a slight flick of the eyes and has the perfect field of vision. However, it does take a while to adjust properly. The Varia is great - a real life saver.
