| Chi,
I actually have one of the bicycle helmets and find it quite useful.
Despite the fact that every one of Berto's comments seem to be hugely negative - this time he's not too far from the truth.
On the road I find it too distracting to use to frequently, as it requires an effort to almost 'defocus' your eyes to look into the mirror (to see whats behind) - take in the information and the have to 'refocus' to the road ahead again.
However, for an occasional look-behind - without having to risk causing unwanted movement on a bicycle, its a good idea.
Best wishes for 2006 - Frank |
