Mirror for Divvy ?

Hi - I'm visiting Chicago for a couple of days next week and am thinking of getting a Divvy 24-hour pass. However, I really dislike riding without a mirror, and would be willing to bring one and my own tools - even if I need to remount it on a new bike every 30 minutes ;-)

Or, can you return a bike, and then take the same one out again right away, or after a few minutes wait?

The question is - what if any mirror can be mounted on a Divvy handlebar?

Also - can you adjust the seat height?

thanks

I've used the Zefal Bike Mirror for years now. It mounts easily and without tools using a rubber strap. It does not vibrate. You can adjust it very easily, and after years of use (Amazon order history shows I bought it in 2012!), it still holds its position well. I mount it on the end of the left side of my straight handlebar. Although it took a couple of days to get used to it, I feel very secure knowing where cars are behind me and if they are in a dangerous (i.e. too close) position. Others may not prefer it because it does reduce the amount of space on the handlebar, but apparently I have narrow hands because it is not a bother to me. Also, like $12 on Amazon.

I have been curious about those mirrors that mount on a riders wrist like a wristband; has anyone used one with success?

I use this mirror on the visor of my helmet. I do not put it on my glasses as I am not always wearing them. I have shored up the attachment by using some strong tape. Wherever my helmet goes my ability to see like a teacher goes.
