Michael Riding a bicycle through San Francisco requires the utmost attention. According to my personal statistics, 70% of the driving population lacks the technical skills to drive. These are people who hit the curb while turning, can't keep their car in the lane, and run red lights because they can't accurately judge the timing of the traffic lights changing. If such a person is also on their phone, double caution is advised.
For such people, as a cyclist, you have to make decisions for them to prevent an accident. If they are driving behind you and want to overtake, but there is obviously no space to complete the maneuver safely, you simply ride in the middle of the lane as a cyclist until the situation is resolved. However, constantly turning around to see what's going on is uncool and even dangerous, so I bought a helmet mirror a few months ago.
This makes you look like a "Borg" from Star Trek, but the mirror helps so much in assessing the road situation that I don't even know how I would manage without it!
There are many different helmet mirrors, but I chose the model... Take ALook" by the company "Bike Peddler Translation: "Bought from Colorado. It is extremely simple in design, makes an extremely stable impression, and is easy to adjust. Cost: $15. Top product!
