I have one and do not like it very much. It is better than nothing but that is about it. vibration with all mirrors are an issue IMHO and this one is hard to adjust angle as they are held on by bar tape. I think the mirror that has attaches to glasses via a flexible wire works the best but looks dorky.

Dorky or not, the Bike Peddler mirror http://www.rei.com/product/1842331.htm?vcat=REI_SSHP_CYCLING_TOC is the best rear vision device for a bike that I've found. I tried several bar-end mirrors and as Jeff posted, vibrations make them almost unusable, or they get knocked out of alignment every time the bike is leaned against something. Helmet mounted mirrors are better but still subject to vibration and the adhesive becoming weak and allowing the mirror to fall off.

The Bike Peddler mirror mounts easily and securely on the glasses and affords a very clear and wide field of vision. My wife and I ride in much traffic and both have this mirror. We even took it to Austria last year for our two week cycling vacation. It will be in Italy this year with us.
