Like a bug, one rider said the other day that I have multifaceted vision. The mirrors I added are for seeing sideways. This is because there is a basic physical limitation on the trike. The problem is that I am down low (below the level of car windows and roofs) and a long way back. So when going out past parked cars I can see into the traffic on the cross road. This is working very well. The original mirrors I purchased were good, but only worked at 90 degrees, which was limiting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/3559269410\/sizes\/o\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4454\" title=\"gt3mirrorA\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/gt3mirrorA.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"334\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><!--more-->Then the other day I saw much bigger mirrors in Woollys Wheels. As they were quite expensive and I was unsure about the fitting on the end of the bar beside my shoes, I decided to only buy one. So for a while I rode with unbalanced mirrors, a bit like those strange crabs with one claw bigger than the other.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/4462584161\/sizes\/o\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4455\" title=\"gt3mirrorB\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/gt3mirrorB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a>Then I went out the the Concord Bike shop to look at electric motors. But I found another mirror a almost half the price for the same thing. So I bought it and now I have a full set of larger mirrors. This is still not perfect, but these cateye mirrors have a much wider view and now I can be at a slight angle and still see. Also the width of the view is vastly improved. I needed to put some cloth in with the pivot to stop it from moving with all the shaking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/4534273716\/sizes\/l\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4456\" title=\"gt3mirrorC\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/gt3mirrorC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mirrors on the trike have gone trough an evolution.
