clip-on handlebar mirrors

I have a client who needs at least one mirror if not two (one each side) to see behind her; but she her bike goes in and out of her car a lot so I'm looking for a clip-on number that can be removed easily, as I think a standard mirror would get damaged (I think her bike lives in her car, so that she can get out at a convenient park to ride! she's delightfully dedicated!) she also does not generally wear a helmet as she is not a fast rider and cycles only in traffic-free places - but in some of these, other cyclists go quite fast and I am concerned that she is vulnerable without rearwards vision. Please send links if you have any information. I've looked online but not see anything so far, but I may just be looking in the wrong place. cheers.

Re: Pub wanting to go cycle friendly

Covered, visible bike parking. If they have room, hanging bike hooks inside are the best, but these are usually only seen in dedicated Velo Cafes (eg @cafevelobev in Beverley). Hooks for damp coats and helmets. Decent loos/washrooms - just to freshen up one's face, so decent handtowels. Option of tea! Bread pudding. Decent portions of chips. loyalty cards for bike users. The odd cycle event on the screen - if it's that kind of pub. If they really want to get in on the action, they could hook up with other existing bike offers locally, eg cycle hire people (discount for people using the hire cycles), they could have copies of cycle mags etc for browsing too. Too much? tbh I'm happy if I get to a pub, cos my rides are usually very antisocial solo affairs!
