The mirror was developed over the course of two years and works by being affixed onto the corner of the rider's sunglasses. The mirror will then go to work, after adjustment, providing clear views to the rear to help [cyclists keep an eye](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bryton-gardia-r300l) on [upcoming vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-varia-rearvue-820) and more. The 'CORKY X' sunglasses mirror can be tilted in any direction to accommodate any viewing preferences, which will help to virtually eliminate blindspots. This positions the accessory as essential for avid commuters or hobby riders alike to incorporate into their gear roster. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eye-mounted Rearview Mirrors:** Develop innovative eye-mounted rearview mirrors for bike riders that enhance their awareness. - **Smart Wearable Accessories for Cyclists:** Develop smart wearable accessories, including sunglasses, for cyclists that make their rides safer and more comfortable. - **Personal Safety Gadgets for Bikers:** Develop personal safety gadgets for bikers that make biking as safe as possible. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sports Accessories Manufacturing:** Develop innovative sports accessories manufacturing industry with a focus on making biking safer and easier. - **Technology Wearables Industry:** Develop the technology wearables industry with a focus on personal safety for a variety of outdoor activities especially biking. - **Consumer Goods Manufacturing Industry:** Develop consumer goods manufacturing industry with a focus on designing and manufacturing personal safety gadgets for outdoor activities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bike-Mounted Cyclist Safety Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclist-camera.md) - [Adaptive Cyclist Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-view-cycling-glasses.md) - [Hybrid Cyclist Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunski-velo.md) - [HUD-Equipped Smart Cyclist Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmo-vision.md) - [Cyclist-Targeted AR Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lawk-one-ar-glasses.md) - [Real-Time Performance-Tracking Eyewear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-eyewear1.md) - [Tech-Visible Bike Reflectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radian-wingman.md) - [Recycled Cyclist Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vallon-watchtowers-cycling-sunglasses.md) - [Ergonomic Urbanite Bike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumos-nyxel.md)
