Looks like a great idea, but as a mountain biker I don’t have to dice with the traffic

“Sorry, we've only got stocks of the flags we list. However, put a message in with your order and if we get sufficient requests then we'll get a batch made and drop you a line.“
“ Yes, we can do branding for companies and clubs, for a minimum of 20 mirrors, at no extra cost. Send us a vectorised copy of your logo, and we will confirm the price and the delay.”
Looks like you’ll have to encourage your cycling clubs to put in a request for 20 or more and Rory will get them done for you.
Actually I’m surprised he hasn’t done one already for this E Type Forum. We could just wear them attached to reading or driving glasses.

Ha Geoff !! Did occur to me that might be very good in the Jag too, the ability to scan wide with slight head movements would improve by a factor of ten the rearview information.
Like the time when, hood up in the rain, twilight, I think only my motorcyclist’s 6th sense saved me from certain death on a main road in Spain …….. turning left onto a small side-road whilst in a queue of traffic, just about to pull across, when I hesitated, and stopped …… and a guy comes flying past from behind, on the wrong side of the road, having decided to overtake the whole queue in one mad swerve.
Better go and finish the car so I can test it

Can’t get insurance to sell there, think you must be lumped together with your - perhaps - more writ-friendly and litigious neighbours.
But I can sell to Geoff, he can pass it on, then you can sue him

Thank you, Rory! My broad shoulders will take the burden. And when you’ve got your car on the road you can tell us all how good the cyclists’ mirrors are for use in an OTS. And then I shall claim a (small ) fee for each one you sell to an E Type owner.
Drive and cycle safely

And just to add how much I enjoyed the steam locomotive video and to request…. can you balance my crankshaft, too?

No surprise there then.
I average about 5 to 6.000km a year with road cycling, and would resume my experiences in France thus.
Roughly half of us cyclists are our own worst enemy, and as it an incontrovertible constant that those involved never ride with a mirror, they have no clue what problems their behaviour is causing to those waiting behind.
The nice thing about the Head-Zup is that you can thank people, who have been patient, when they do get past.
A little wave changes everything.
You can position yourself to be considerate.
But that's a hard idea to sell - pay money, use a mirror, be more civil ?
Fewer than half of car/truck users here are inconsiderate to cyclists, but they are generally saving just tens of seconds off their total journey time in exchange for putting others' lives at risk.
How many times do we get shaved by overtaking moves that are followed shortly afterwards by drivers then turning down a side-road only yards ahead of us.

Steve, getting it back to an E Type forum, now that Rory is making a (small ) fortune out of his cyclists’ mirror he can spend it all on getting his E Type back on track, which is after all the subject of this topic
