James: Where do you live? Chicago here. While I agree mirrors are very useful on the open road and even in suburban Chicago with long spacing between intersections. Chicago itself has relatively short city blocks (not all are uniform but 1/10th of a mile is the approximate measure) and (argghhhh!) some sort of traffic control at nearly every intersection. At most my rearward area of concern is around 500 feet. After my tours last year, I left the mirror on for city riding at first. I did not find it to provide a significant advantage over head checks on most city streets. On the other hand, cyclists racking near me (or possibly mischievous passers by) were always knocking the mirror out of alignment. Unless I noticed right away, I would inevitably wind up discovering the defiency at the worst possible moment and start fiddling with it when I should have been concentrating on the street.
