Giz Wiz Show #1780 May 21, 2020 Independent Show #261

This is our 5th year of Independent Production! (First Giz Wiz show was February 20th, 2006.) Thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters we're now going into year 15. If it wasn't for our supporters the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you'd like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: www.gizwiz.tv.  

It's still May, Bike Safety Month, so let's start with one more useful bike gadget.

It's the RearViz Wearable Bike Mirror. RearViz is, I assume, short for 'rear vision'. This folding and fully rotatable mirror allows for adjustment to find perfect angle of vision. Although it looks a bit large to me, the company calls it a slim fit housing, and I guess it is considering it's a wide-angle mirror. The wide elastic arm band fits any arm size. Because this is mirror is designed to be worn on the body instead of on the bike that should help eliminate road vibrations while letting you see what's coming up from behind you. This also great for those who rent bikes too, like Citibike. Some additional info from the company: The Slim Line RearViz is lightweight and half the size of the Sports and Classic styles, making it suitable for riders with slimmer arms. We suggest this edition RearViz is worn on the wrist. The armband is universal (one size fits all) and interchangeable with the RearViz Universal Camera Mount. Colours available: Black, Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow & Red. ….It's about $38 from RearViz although there are many wearable versions from other companies online.
