Yeah, that crossed my mind. But it's certainly something I could get used to
rather easily I think.
The way I see it being swiped by someone approaching from behind is by far
the biggest chance for me to get taken out on my pushie. The Reevu would
make the most sense on a pushie, but even on a bike it would be a welcome
relief --- maybe it could make me slow down a bit too, as I normally ride a
tad bit bit faster than traffic as I prefer to deal with what I can see,
rather than constantly being overtaken by cars that like to do +5.

Absolutely, my CBR250RR motorbike mirrors are worth SFA. I've already gotten
used to shifting my body so that I can get a view, when I need to. My
pushbike handlebar mirror gives me better coverage.
Hmmm, with a Reevuu, I wonder if they'll be covering up the back side of my
helmet when doing Phillip Island ride days?
