I definitely use my mirrors, and I learned to maneuver my body the opposite direction to get a better view of something other than my elbows. Without the mirrors though, I'd feel naked and vulnerable like you in the shower at prison, or Penn St. . . Don't know what's creeping up behind you.

Your bike will look a hell of a lot better with mirrors, than it will after a reck
That said, I take mine off and on depending on where I'm going to be riding.

Mine came with them off. I just put them on.

I actually think the bike looks better with them on.

I check behind me more than to my side, I always look when changing lanes.

It makes a nice spot to put my helmet!

Plus I can see my passenger

I use mirrors on my bike probably more than I do in a car.
Especially after I've had a hog blow by me without even seeing them.
This has happened to me twice. Anybody else have a problem with hoggers pass by out of nowhere?
My mirrors make it look like a Frankenstein monster, but it helps me feel safer.
My right one is actually an ATV mirror and my left one is made for a bicycle lmao
I needed them though.
