(1,788 posts)1. I moved from Denmark around 5 years ago
and I still look over my shoulder, not my mirror, when I make a right hand turn. Once I went to make a turn, used my mirror and almost hit a dude who was in my blind spot....never again. I even brought bake a bike from there...so much more comfortable than the bikes here

It's on the bike behind the seat, by the back wheel. It works well, I lost the key to mine, though...Oops
