Google Glass-inspired bicycling accessory gives your sunglasses a nifty rear-view mirror!




It preserves your aerodynamics while giving you an easy-access rear-view mirror… and it fits right on your spectacles/sunglasses like a rather futuristic, life-saving accessory.

Designed to allow you to look behind you without physically glancing over your shoulder as you ride a cycle or motorbike, the CORKY X has an aesthetic that looks rather familiar if you’re a tech enthusiast. Modeled roughly on the form factor of the Google Glass, CORKY X gives you a different kind of HUD. Fitted with a small mirror, the eyewear accessory lets you instantly look behind you simply by glancing out of the corner of your eye.

CORKY X comes with a universally retrofittable design that attaches to any piece of eyewear securely, comfortably, and in mere seconds. The product uses a highly reflective acrylic PC mirror that’s comparable to commercial mirrors but at a fraction of the weight. The mirror sits at the very corner of your visual periphery (so it doesn’t block your view of the road ahead) and is mounted within an adjustable housing that allows you to tilt the mirror in any direction, eliminating blind spots so you have the perfect view of what’s behind you.

While the idea behind the CORKY X seems outwardly simple, the product’s design process required a fair deal of consideration and was more complex than you’d think. The product’s weight, form factor, aerodynamics, and functionality play a critical role in ensuring it works flawlessly without failing or causing an accident. To that degree, CORKY X’s design specifically achieves three crucial things – A. An aerodynamic form factor that allows it to cut through the air without bending or deflecting as you ride, B. a lightweight design (weighing 14 grams) that doesn’t cause your glasses to tilt, and C. an error-free, minimal-tolerance assembly that doesn’t vibrate or change angles as you ride on rough terrain.

In 2019 alone, more than 50,000 cyclists lost their lives globally – a major contributing factor was the lack of visibility. What the CORKY X does is increase a cyclist’s awareness, allowing them to be safer by being able to easily notice fast-approaching objects from behind them. The fact that the CORKY X sits right within your peripheral vision makes it easier to notice things in the blink of an eye, rather than looking down at handlebar-based rear-view mirrors or turning to look behind you. Aside from universally working with almost every eyewear (it needs an 8mm-wide temple stem), it’s also easy to attach and equally easy to remove too… and thanks to its linear design, can slide into any backpack with ease.

The plastic mirror is much more lightweight and durable than a conventional glass mirror (and it’s safer too, since it doesn’t shatter the way glass does), and works in all weather conditions. The CORKY X comes in 3 color options (a black design with a white, yellow, or black stripe) and a 2-year warranty. It’s perfect for riding bicycles or e-bikes (although it doesn’t work with a full-face helmet), or if you want to seem like the futuristic kind, just wear it as you walk on the streets. You’ll look like a cyborg and you’ll also be able to see people behind you staring away in awe!

These reflectors could make cycling at night a hundred times safer

The WHEEL FLASH 2.0 are a retro-reflective set of wheel-stickers that light up without any electricity or batteries. The glass powder pigment catches any stray light and reflects it back with much higher intensity, instantly making you visible to drivers at night. The WHEEL FLASH 2.0 are designed to work universally, sticking on any bike wheel or even the frame of your bike. Manufactured with a 3M adhesive lining, the stickers stay on for years, even through inclement weather like rain or snow. Weighing as much as a sheet of paper, the WHEEL FLASH 2.0 stickers come pre-cut and ready to use. They come in 4 different colors and provide instant visibility without affecting the bicycle’s aerodynamics, performance, or its look, and most importantly, they keep you safe forever, all without consuming any power.

In 2019, 56,000 cyclists died worldwide. Estimates indicate that that number increased in 2020, even though traffic decreased. The reason behind it points to two things. A. More people took to cycling in 2020, and B. Cycling, as healthy as it is, still isn’t entirely safe.

The reason why most cycling accidents occur is due to the lack of visibility. Given how quiet and slim they are, cycles are sometimes easy to miss, especially in the dark. And even though you could decide to wear a reflective patch on your back, the WHEEL FLASH 2.0’s highly reflective pigment (which fits on a freely rotating wheel) offers something that is MUCH more effective.

Designed as a pair of reflective adhesives that stick right onto your bike wheels, the WHEEL FLASH 2.0 instantly make your bicycle visible in low-light settings. The reflectors are crafted using a glass-powder pigment that helps them catch and scatter light in all directions, making you instantly visible in low-light conditions without any battery or electronics. Moreover, since the reflectors attach to your bike wheels, the constant circular motion increases their visibility multiple times.

Wheel-Flash’s bike reflectors could potentially save thousands of lives each year

In 2019, 56,000 cyclists died worldwide. This is the highest mortality rate in the last ten years… The changeover to winter time will confirm this bad trend – Every year, the time change leads to an increase in traffic accidents due to darkness. – A vehicle traveling at 50km/h takes 26mts to stop, even a driver with very good reflexes, without reflexes the accident is inevitable. – Without retro-reflective equipment, a cyclist is visible at 30mts. If retro-reflective equipment is used, a cyclist is visible at 150m.

⚠ Bicycles are required by law to carry reflective devices ⚠

Crafted from a glass-powder pigment to ensure full visibility, Wheel Flash’s stickers adhere to your tires and your bike’s handlebars, making you instantly visible in low-light conditions without any battery or electronics. A simple universal add-on sticker that works with any bike, the Wheel Flash helps increase visibility and prevent accidents that occur due to the slim and silent nature of cycles.

Statistics say that as many as 50% of bicycle accidents occur from the side and the front, and increased visibility could prevent a large percentage of them. Made to work without needing any electricity, Wheel Flash uses a pigment made from glass powder that helps reflect back any sort of light but with a much higher intensity, making them visible to drivers on empty, dark roads. Stick them on your bicycle wheels and on the handlebars, and the cyclist instantly becomes visible as the stickers glow brightly even in the lowest of light conditions. Mounting the stickers on the wheels creates a moving light pattern when the wheels rotate, allowing them to grab the attention of any oncoming traffic, while the stickers meant for the handlebars prevent head-on collisions letting people know when a speeding bicycle is approaching them.

Weighing as much as a sheet of paper, the Red Dot-winning Wheel Flash stickers come pre-cut and ready to use. They provide instant visibility without affecting the bicycle’s aerodynamics, performance, or its look, and most importantly, last practically forever without having to consume any power.

The universal bike-handlebar mirror that lets you move forward and look backward

It’s strange that most bicycles don’t come pre-fitted with rear-view mirrors. Given the fact that the average bike riding speed of commuters is 18-29km/h vs 15km/h average speed by car, it seems like common sense to have a mirror that lets you look at vehicles approaching you from behind, right?

The CORKY Urban and its universally fitting design fills the void by giving you a wide-angle mirror right in your handlebar. With a 120° convex mirror mounted on a ball-socket joint, the CORKY Urban sits relatively flush against the end of a handlebar when closed, and can be popped open and adjusted in any angle to give you a clear picture of what’s behind you. The ball-socket joint gives you an incredible degree of freedom, allowing you to point the mirror anywhere, and its universally fitting design lets you easily mount the CORKY Urban on either your left or right handlebar with ease.

The CORKY Urban features a clear Polycarbonate glass 120° wide-angle mirror that lets you see what’s behind you for a 100 meters. The mirror folds outwards and when not in use, can be flipped shut into its ABS plastic case which protects it from any damage. The impact-resistant ABS case comes with two mounts that let you either fix the CORKY Urban into hollow handlebars (with an internal diameter up to 17-19mm) or around other handlebar using its universal silicone mount. This compatibility extends across urban bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes, cargo bikes, and even scooters or motorcycles. The compact, infinitely adjustable curved mirror instantly increases rider safety by giving you a clear view of any approaching vehicles so you don’t need to listen for horns or turn to look back while riding ahead!

100 Meter Rear-view

The ABS’s body is lightweight only 23g and impact-resistant, while the Polycarbonate convex mirror is robust and can resist scuffs and scratches.

Stands every bumpy road. Maintaining awareness of the roadway or path ahead is critical, especially when you are biking in a congested urban area or you are on an uneven path fraught with obstacles, such as those the mountain biker encounters.

Keep an eye on other cyclists. Every split second counts in a serious bicycle race, and often the loss of rhythm caused by a backward glance can mean the difference between a victory and a second-place finish. A bicycle mirror can let you keep your eyes on the goal line while also keeping tabs on the competition.

Quick & Easy Installation

1. Fixed way mount. Within the ABS body lies a steel bolt that lets you tightly fit the CORKY into your bicycle’s flat bars. It is compatible with handlebars with an internal diameter between 17/19mm.

2. Plug and play silicon mount. Securely attach to any bike’s ends bar with any type of flat handlebars or any two-wheeled vehicle.

If you are planning on using a working bike for frequent trips, you should consider getting a premium bicycle mirror.

Cyclists have to make split-second decisions about whether to change lanes, speed up, or pull over if needed. The Corky Urban helps you make sound decisions about your surroundings.

CORKY Urban helps a rider more easily read traffic behind them, in addition to using common sense and peripheral vision.

Ideal for city bikes, mountain bikes, E-bikes, hybrid bikes, cargo bikes, scooter and trotinettes.

When it comes to riding a bicycle, it’s important to be aware of ALL your surroundings… even things that aren’t in your peripheral vision.

The ABS body is lightweight and impact-resistant, while the PC mirror is robust and can resist scuffs and scratches. Within the ABS body lies a steel bolt that lets you tightly fit the Corky into your bicycle’s drop bar.

The Corky’s convex mirror gives you an incredible view range of 100 meters, and comes with the ability to be rotated 360° to adjust to your view. The flip-out design lets you open and close the mirror based upon your need, and the Corky even comes in a variety of 6 colors to match your aesthetic needs while also fulfilling your bike’s safety needs by giving you the ability to constantly move forward and occasionally look backward so you’re always aware and always safe!
