Here’s a way to have a rear-view mirror on your bike, even if you rent one.
RearViz is, I assume, short for ‘rear vision’. This folding and fully rotatable mirror allows for adjustment to find perfect angle of vision. The company calls it a slim fit housing, and I guess it is, considering the fact there’s a fairly wide-angle mirror inside. The wide elastic arm band fits any arm size. The mirror can be worn on the wrist or on the arm. Since this mirror is designed to be worn on the body instead of on the bike, that should help eliminate road vibrations while letting you see what’s coming up from behind you. Great for those who rent bikes too, like Citibike. You can always have a rear view mirror when you bike. Beware, you most likely will also see a bit of your arm and the device itself in the view because, well, it’s on your arm. You don’t need to get it in pink. Other colors are available. It was on Amazon, but now it shows ‘unavailable’.

Need Help With A Flat Tire Far Off The Road?
Forget worrying about using that hand pump. Or even carrying a hand pump. The Air Chuck Elite Inflator is said to be the lightest package available to inflate a flat tire. The kit comes with 2 CO2 cartridges. Just screw on a CO2 cartridge and push to inflate your bike tire. It works with both Presta and Schrader valves. MSRP seems to range from $25 to $29.99, but I see it selling for about $20.00 online.

Light, Horn, Speedometer & More, all in one unit.
I love combo gadgets and this one is great for a bike. It’s branded Tesecu and includes a bright headlight, a Speedometer/Odometer, trip recorder and a horn which offers six different sounds. The horn has a remote that mounts on the handlebars at a convenient place you choice and plugs into the back of the main unit. The 120db bike horn is LOUD, which I found out when I first tried it in my studio. It’s possible you might even want to tone it down a bit, perhaps with a piece of tape over the speaker for use in congested areas. The back lit screen records and displays speed, distance and ride time. All this is powered by a rechargeable 2500 mAh battery. The company says the unit is waterproof in the rain, but certainly don’t put it in water. The LED tail light features an one-touch switch with four different lighting modes and it too has its own rechargeablele battery. The kit sells for about $30 on Amazon, although price there can change at any time.
