• i'm used to riding a motorbike so loud i can't hear other traffic so I just look behind me to see what's there.

  • You've got mirrors on a motorbike though, right? On a bike, unless you're an SPD sandal-wearing tourer with bar-end mirrors etc, you're relying on shoulder-checks to see what's going on.

    Edit: Also, on a motorbike you're less likely to have faster traffic speeding past you with a gap of a few centimetres.

  • Yes, I am relying on shoulder checks.
    On a motorbike, on a bicycle, and in a car to check the blindspot.

  • And you can sit in primary to your heart's content. On a bike, you've always got to be aware of that twat gunning it into a pinchpoint and the extra dimension of being able to hear changes in engine note can only be a good thing IMO.

  • I'm considering one of these for a future trip.

    A more discrete set up like, I draw the line at sandals mind.
