For cyclists who share the road with cars
See the car before it’s beside you.
A rear-view mirror inside your lens shows what’s coming up behind — no head turn, no swerve, no guessing.
Shop The ViewThe glance that pulls you into traffic
Turning your head turns your bars. In traffic, that’s the whole problem.
City riding is a hundred small decisions about what’s behind you: changing lanes past parked cars, pulling around a bus, signalling a left turn across traffic.
Each one starts with a look over your shoulder — and every look drifts you toward the lane exactly when you need to be predictable. Half a second of not seeing forward, a front wheel that follows your chin, and a driver who has no idea what you’re about to do.
Why the usual answers fall short
The head check
You drift toward traffic at the exact moment precision matters most — and you stop seeing what’s in front of you to do it.
Bar and helmet mirrors
They buzz on every pothole, point at the sky when you stand up, and grow a new blind spot for every one they remove.
Your ears
Electric cars are silent. So are bikes. Wind noise at 25 km/h erases the rest. Hearing is not a mirror.

The fix
A mirror in the lens. Eyes forward, city covered.
The View puts a small adjustable mirror inside the lens itself. Set it once with a fingertip and the lane behind you is one glance away — exactly like the side mirror in a car.
You merge, signal and claim your lane knowing what’s there, not hoping. Your head stays up, your line stays straight, and drivers see a cyclist who rides like they know.
See for yourself
This is what you see.
Set it once. Then own your lane.

Set the angle once
A fingertip on the ball-and-socket joint. It holds through potholes, curbs and rain.

Glance, don’t turn
A flick of the eyes shows the lane behind — bars straight, eyes back on the road in a blink.

Ride decisively
Signal, merge and turn with certainty. Predictable riders are safe riders.
From a daily commuter
“I used to change lanes on hope and a quick prayer over my left shoulder. Now I just… know.”
Give it three commutes. The glance becomes as automatic as checking your car mirror.
What city riders say
Takes all the guesswork out of knowing where the traffic is behind you. Can’t ride without them.
A life-saving invention — sunglasses with a built-in rear-view mirror for sharing the road with cars and trucks.
Makes me feel safer on the road. No bulky mirrors. Would absolutely recommend to any cyclist.
Ride the city like you can see it all.
