I started usin a mirror last year after a friend got run over from behind, I find it really helpful after I got used to it. It's fun to bonk people with my mirror on grup rides also or check if they are rolling their eyes when they agree with something i say.<br><br>
For new riders in urban areas, one of the biggest common dangerous mistakes I see is using the space between the curb and traffic lane to move up when traffic stops. The all time worst move is to move to the indside of a stopped, articulated truck and have the rear wheels come over toward the curb when the truck turns right.
