Bicycle Insurance

Modern bike technology has developed greatly over recent years - opening up cycling to to ever larger group of enthusiasts.

E-Bikes are probably the latest example of this, but road bikes, mountain bikes, ATBs and more all demonstrate the way the market has diversified.

Cycling is becoming increasingly popular for leisure, fitness and business. As the cost of fuel rises, more of us are turning to cycling as a healthier, more economical and greener way to travel.

Bicycle insurance policies are normally far cheaper than for a car or motorbike for obvious reasons, however you may find the risk to your bike is higher, with thousands stolen across the UK every year. With more specialist bikes on the market, the cost of replacing them is high and therefore insurance becomes all the more important.

Cycle insurance policies are not mandatory, but more of us are considering taking out specialist cycling policies. Sometimes bikes can be covered on home insurance policies, but, if the bicycle costs more than a few hundred pounds, you may find cover is too limited. Home insurance also may not cover you for injuries as a result of a cycling accident and if you cycle competitively that is a different matter altogether!

If using our comparisonson service does not deliver resultys for you another option is a partner who are specialists in this niche insurance area.

Their cycle insurance covers loss, theft and accidental damage as standard but they also have a host of optional additional benefits.
