Depends. I'm considering getting Bell's Metro mirror, since I really
like my Metro helmet.

But, so far at least, I've been unimpressed with glasses/helmet mount
mirrors. The best mirror I've found so far is this one:

Actually, mine is a bar-end mount version of this with no stalk. I
bought it at the Hostel Shoppe, in fact, during last year's GRABAAWR so
I could keep track of things, and left it on when I got back home for
commuting purposes. If you can't get it locally, I'm sure the HS folks
would be willing to assist.

Third Eye has a better mirror (larger), but this Cycleaware reflex is the
best helmet mirror. I can even use this mirror when wearing
over-the-glasses ski goggles. The swing-away design keeps it from being
broken when snagged on an overhanging twig, whatever. The gooseneck flexes
and repositions over and over without complaint.

Ditto this recommendation. The Take a Look is, by far, the best
glasses-mounted mirror that I've tried.

Here's a review of various mirror systems:

Hey! I'm Bob C. and I've been Bob C. in these cycling newsgroups for years
and years and years.

Oh ... and I've also posted many endorsements of the very same mirror you're
endorsing -- the Third Eye. Great mirror.

I'll bet you're a handsome devil.

I've been using the Third Eye bar end mirror (09) on various road bikes for
at least 10 years. I have four in service right now and a spare on the
shelf. Wouldn't leave the driveway without it. I don't know anyone who has
tried one that has not stuck with it.

I agree with J. Brandt when he wrote [1]"...because I have found that
when looking in a head mounted mirror, I cannot accurately tell anything
about the following vehicle's position except that it is behind me. That
is because I am looking into a mirror whose angular position with
respect to the road is unknown. The rear view mirror in a car is fixed
with respect to the direction of travel and objects seen in it are seen
with reference to ones own vehicle, be that the rear window frame or
side of the car. I find the image in a head mounted mirror on a bicycle
to be distracting and a source of paranoia if I watch it enough. It does
not tell me whether the upcoming car is, or is not, going to slice me."

I use the "Mountain Mirrycle" [2] on all my regular street bikes.
