Messenger Mirror: Head-Mounted Rear-View for Cyclists

The Envoy Mirror is as about as simple as a gadget can get. It’s a small, half-inch barometer mirror hanging on the end of a six and a half inch wire. You attach it to your specs or shades and you have precooked rear-view, wherever your head might be pointing, at the flick of an eye.

It’s cheap, too, an substantial part of the design. Bruce, who makes them, came up with the mirror in response to the rather costly solutions already out there. We like it, especially the simple homemade vibe it gives off. In unworkable traffic when you’re speeding between lanes, it’s very handy to know what’s behind you, but not always so out of harm's way to turn your head. And bar-end mirrors just look dorky, so the head-mount is certainly our favorite way to go. US only, on tap now.
