I love the German mirror and use one for all my road riding. I really miss it when I take my mtn bike down a road to a trail head. I find it as easy and natural to use as my car mirrors and would no more ride without than I would drive without mirrors.
(It fits well on drop bars. I have not used it on flatter bars and am not sure how it would install.)
