I have started cycling again after a long break and I am finding I am feeling very vulnerable about what is coming up behind me, both cyclists and motorists. (my wife and children would say that I am also vulnerable to overtaking pedestrians)
Part of the problem is that with a bad neck I have to sit up very straight to look behind me, utilising thoracic turn as well as cervical. This seems to take a long time to do while another vehicle is approaching and leaves me more vulnerable to wobbling into the path of an overtaker.
Any advice? I have ordered a little peddler spectacles/helmet mirror.(sorry Tony, don't know how to link to this on Amazon) What about handlebar mirrors for drop handlebar bikes or is there a hi tech backward facing go-pro type camera to an iPhone on the handlebars?
On a separate matter does anyone know of an effective reliable handlebar mount for an iPhone (6 or 7plus)?
Hope someone can help.
