Take a Look Mirror: A Lightweight, Clever Solution for Safer Cycling (and Rowing)
🚴♀️ Take a Look Mirrors: The Tiny Upgrade That Makes a Big Difference
The Ultimate Helmet-Mounted Mirror for Cyclists Who Take Safety Seriously
When you're on the road or the water, having a clear view of what’s behind you can make a world of difference, not just for performance, but for safety too.
For cyclists, this can mean spotting a car or fellow rider early. For rowers, it’s about navigating tight lanes or crowded waterways without needing to constantly twist and check. That’s where the Take a Look Mirror really shines.
🛴 Not Just for Cyclists and Rowers
While the Take a Look Mirror is a favourite among cyclists and rowers, it’s also an excellent safety accessory for e-scooter riders and skateboarders — particularly kids and teens.
With the increase in shared pathways, traffic exposure, and high-speed micro-mobility devices, being able to check what’s behind you without turning around is a simple but powerful safety boost.
For younger riders, it also helps parents feel more confident knowing their child has better situational awareness, especially in busy urban or suburban areas.
Whether they're cruising to school or carving through the neighbourhood, this mirror adds an extra layer of visibility and protection — without getting in the way.
🔍 What Is the Take a Look Mirror?
Handmade in the USA, the Take a Look Mirror is a frame-less, acrylic rear-view mirror designed to attach to either your sunglasses or helmet visor. It’s ultra-light, highly adjustable, and built to give you a quick, clear glance behind, without having to shift your whole posture or strain your neck.
It’s a simple idea, executed very well.
🔄 Adjustable in All the Right Ways
What sets this mirror apart is its three-point pivoting system, which allows it to adjust in three planes, meaning you can position it exactly how you like. The mirror arm rotates up to 90 degrees, offering fine-angle adjustments to suit your riding (or rowing) position.
Once you’ve got it set, it stays where you want it. No bouncing, slipping, or constant readjusting.
🇦🇺 Right or Left Side Options Available
Depending on where you live and how traffic flows, the mirror is available in right-hand side (for Australia) or left-hand side (for the US and Europe). This makes it a more practical and customisable solution than one-size-fits-all designs.
