Do you need cycling mirrors for your bike commute? Testing 4 types of bike mirrors

I've been commuting for years, and I've never felt the need to use bike mirrors. But I think cycling is about practicality, and if mirrors help make a bike commute more safe and practical, then I thought it was time to give them a try.

Here are the mirrors I tested (the Amazon links below are affiliate, which means if you follow the link and buy something, I receive a payment):

0:19 Hafney handlebar mirrors (thanks to Hafney for providing a test product): https://amzn.to/3fiLi3p
2:45 Corky Urban (thanks to Corky for the test product): https://thebeam-europe.com/collections/frontpage/products/corky-urban
4:32 The Myklops (thanks for the test product): https://amzn.to/3lL0LeT
6:39 The Take-a-Look Cycling mirror: https://amzn.to/36Of6Rv

One note on the Myklops: I did a poor job of showing off the extending arms of the mirror that enable it to be arranged in a way that shouldn't require any movement of the arm. Here's how the arms work: https://www.myklops.com/help#STRAIGHTHANDLEBARDEMO
