Would You Feel Safe Driving Without
Rear-View Mirrors?

By HindSight Team | March 24, 2025 | 7 min read

We rarely question the safety features built into our daily routines—until we realise they’re missing.

Take cars, for example. Imagine getting behind the wheel without rearview mirrors. No awareness of who’s behind you. No way to anticipate a fast-approaching vehicle. No confidence in changing lanes or navigating traffic.

You wouldn’t do it. So why do we expect cyclists to?

Here’s the hard truth:
70% of cyclists worry about their safety.
40% of cycling fatalities involve rear-end collisions.

That’s not a footnote—it’s a flashing red warning light. These aren’t just numbers. They’re lives.

At HindSight, we don’t see statistics. We see stories—families changed forever, morning commutes that ended in sirens, and passionate riders who never made it home.

That’s why we built HindSight: to turn data into action. To take a silent risk and make it visible. To give cyclists the same basic awareness drivers have had for over a century—because safety shouldn’t be vehicle-specific. It should be human-specific.

1. Ride Smarter in the City

Urban riding means constantly reacting to taxis, buses, delivery vans, and phone-distracted drivers. HindSight helps you anticipate instead of react—giving you an early heads-up before vehicles even enter your peripheral vision.

2. Protect What Matters Most

Riding your kids to school in a cargo bike or trailer? With HindSight, you can keep them in view without needing to stop or twist around. A quick glance at the lens shows what’s behind, so your focus stays ahead.

3. Confidence on Every Ride

For road racers, training athletes, and weekend warriors—HindSight adds a new layer of situational awareness. Whether you’re overtaking, navigating pacelines, or bombing down descents, seeing behind without turning your head keeps you locked in and performing.

A Blind Spot in Bike Safety

Cycling is one of the most liberating ways to move through a city. It’s healthy, sustainable, and often faster than traffic. But for all its benefits, cycling comes with a major flaw: visibility.

Most riders can't see what’s coming behind them. And that gap in awareness? It’s where most accidents begin.

Yes, we train ourselves to glance over the shoulder. But every look back is a risk—taking your eyes off the road, swerving slightly off balance, breaking flow. It’s unnatural, it’s awkward, and in high-speed or high-density environments, it’s downright dangerous.

At HindSight, we asked: what if you didn’t have to choose between looking back and staying safe?

"SIMPLY GAME CHANGING."

See & Be Seen

We spoke to over 500 riders during our product development. The overwhelming insight?

“I feel invisible on the road. And worse—I can’t see what’s behind me either.”

The problem isn't lack of skill. It’s the lack of tools. Even experienced cyclists are put at risk by modern road dynamics. Ride-sharing drivers. Electric scooters. Door zones. Blind corners. HindSight is designed to bring calm into that chaos.

And for newer riders, especially parents or young teens, confidence often makes the difference between riding and not.
