Summary

  • Cyclists who want to use rear-view mirrors often struggle with issues caused by their own movement and vibrations from the road that knock the mirrors out of alignment.
  • A Canadian inventor and cycling enthusiast named Mike Kelly has come up with an innovative solution to the problem in the form of the Mantis Mirror.
  • The device features two small mirrors attached to a short extension bar that is fixed to a cyclist’s helmet.
  • A lower mirror provides a clear rear view from an upright riding position, while an upper mirror comes into play when the rider is in a more bent position.
  • Responding to the interest that the invention has garnered, Kelly is now considering launching a crowdfunding campaign to commercialise the Mantis Mirror.
