Roaring years for cyclists all over the planet: the cycle paths environmental sensitivity is growing as well. And the solutions? Well, between classic bikes, ebikes, pedelecs and more, you're spoiled for choice. This is followed by the entire accessories industry, always looking for a way to meet a public hungry for news and gadgets.
This seems particularly apt, because it is essential and undoubtedly useful. His name is CORKY X. He says “that is”. It's essentially a rearview mirror for your bike. No, not one like the graziella, to be attached with its beautiful arm to a handlebar. It is a mirror that allows the user to maintain all his aerodynamics, even on a racing bike.
Put the mirror on the eyeglass (“glass” would have been more correct, but I lost the rhyme)
CORKY X has a very small footprint. His goal (fully achieved) is to allow the cyclist to see what is happening behind him without physically looking over his shoulder. Even more: without even turning your head in the slightest. As? Thanks to its mounting system. The small mirror is in fact mounted on the "frame" of a normal pair of sunglasses.
A precious, tiny lifesaver. Think of an easy-to-arrange mirror, which adapts to any pair of sunglasses and is "positioned" right at the corner of the "visual periphery", so as not to block the vision of the road in front of the cyclist.
It also has a "nerdy" and familiar look, for those who are passionate about technology, and with its weight of just 14 grams it doesn't risk tilting your glasses. In short, it's not one of those ridiculous gimmicks: its weight, form factor, aerodynamics and functionality are spot on. Everything about this mirror does its part well in ensuring perfect operation without breakdowns or accidents.
On Kickstarter, where it started with a small crowdfunding campaign, it has achieved its goal and is also in presale.
