Hell if it beeped every time a car going 50 mph got within 18" of me it would be going many times each ride. No, I'm not exaggerating.

Done. Made me ponder a bit...after hitting 40 mph in a group today.

Definitely getting hit from behind as greatest fear. I said I feel "fairly safe" or whatever the middle response was.
While it may be nice to know when a car is approaching, assuming you cant already hear it, I'm not sure a beeping device or even the varia radar enhances safety. |

Done. Maybe we'll see him on Shark Tank one day.

The obvious question to me is this: If so many cyclists answer "being hit from behind" is the greatest fear, (same answer I gave) then why do so few use mirrors? (I don't use one either) Is it purely due to the "negative geek factor" or are there other reasons?

That's how I answered and a bit embarrassed to say that the geek factor is probably 75% of the reason why. However as I get older and more in love with my grandchidren...I'm giving it serious consideration. It is weird that the advice I give is not always the advice I take.

Love that program. And The Profit as well.

The same reasons NBA players don't shoot free throws like this. Sad but true.

I do wear a mirror. I wear other stuff to look cool, but the geekiness of the mirror doesn't bother me. FWIW, the mirror is not the be-all end-all. It helps, but it doesn't cover all situations. Eyes, ears and mind on what you're doing is still required. Too many drivers don't so that so we have to. |

No, I didn't know those stats off the top of my head. Yes, I do wear a mirror but only about 20% of the time.
