Corky: The bicycle mirror reinvented

While mirrors don't replace the need for the occasional glance over your shoulder to check the road behind, they can be a useful accessory - particularly for novice cyclists. Strange then, that so few of us use them. It appears the traditional handlebar-mounted mirror has gone the way the way of the mudguard; no longer regarded as desirable. In spite of this, the market for accessories has spawned all manner of alternatives, including spectacle-mounted designs, pop-up mirrors worn on the wrist like a watch and now the Corky.

Small enough to fold away into the end of a standard set of drop handlebars, it is claimed the Corky gives a view of the road behind that is clear and stable enough to see traffic 40 metres away. If you close the lid, you can protect the rear-view mirror.
