Bike Mirrors in Safety(1000+)

Should a bike mirror be on the left or right side?

A bike mirror should be mounted on the opposite side where you ride your bike. If you are driving on the right side of the road, the mirror should be on the left side of the bike and vice versa. However, mounting the mirror on the left side gives more view of the road to see both lanes of traffic.

How many bike mirrors are needed on a bike?

One rear-view mirror is fine on a bike, but five out of the 50 states say that two mirrors are required on a bike, with one on each handlebar. However, if the state doesn’t have a law, one mirror is suitable for bike safety to see traffic and the road.

What is the proper way to clean a bike mirror?

Mix one part vinegar and one part water and mix it into a spray bottle. Spray the cleaning mixture onto a microfiber cloth. Wipe in a S-pattern at the top of the mirror working it down. Don’t go back to the area that has been already wiped because it can cause streaks.
