Urban cyclists require as much visibility as possible when riding in city streets to help maintain as much safety as possible, which is what the CORKY Urban folding handlebar mirror is designed to enable. Designed by Min Hyeon Seong of THE BEAM, the mirror works by being positioned onto the side of the handlebars and can be easily folded out when riding to allow for riders to see up to 100 meters behind them. This will work effectively to keep them safe when changing lanes, making turns or simply keeping an eye on their surroundings to stay agile on city streets.
The CORKY Urban folding handlebar mirror is crafted with a durable ABS plastic case with a polycarbonate glass wide-angle mirror to ensure years of dependable functionality without running the risk of premature failure.
