Hi, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good bicycle mirror for use
on a Jett Creek recumbent bicycle?

I've ridden with a helmet- or glasses-mount mirror for more thirty
years. cannot imagine riding without a mirror. How would anyone DRIVE
without their mirrors? I switched to Mirro-cycles a few years ago, one
on each side. I still glance over my shoulder whenever changing lanes.
I can hear cars if they're in the blind spot but sometimes there's a
bike there. Get good mirrors, use 'em and learn to glance over your
shoulder without tipping your handlebars.

I suppose mirrors are a good idea on a recumbent, but until they start
equiping them with a reverse gear, it doesn't really compare to driving a
car without a mirror.

You can push them backwards :-)

A lot of folk prefer a helmet mounted mirror, but I enjoy dual
miiror-cylce grip end mount mirrors on my Tour Easy. Looks like they
would work well on a Jett Creek style as well.

Does it really help to have two mirrors? I have a grip end mount
mirror on the left side of my Tour Easy and it seems adequate - would
a right side mirror would help any?

When I need to take the left lane for an upcoming left turn that right
mirror is a real comfort. I like to be see that all drivers have
noticed me and be prepared to escape.
Most riders don't seem to need one.

I use a rear-view mirror clipped to my glasses. I have never seen any
bike-mounted mirror that didn't vibrate badly, and besides, if your
mirrors are head-mounted, you can look around in different directions
behind you, not just "behind the bike". And you can always watch in two
opposite directions at once. A rear-view mirror is pretty much
required for bents, because unless you're an owl it's darn-near
impossible to turn your head around enough to see anything back there.....
