Policy Benefits
Cover for your bikes
Comprehensive cover for all levels of riders from beginner to when n+1 gets out of hand
Theft
No one wants their prized custom build or commuter bike to be stolen. It happens though, and that’s why we’re here. Just make sure you comply with our locking requirements, it’s the main reason for a claim to unfortunately be declined.
Accidental Damage
Take a tumble on a gnarly downhill, or a bend too quickly on a damp road! Everyone crashes, even the pros. Our policy covers you for accidental damage to your bike and components, so you can get back up and keep on riding.
New for old
Your bike may be a few years old now, or maybe just built and ready for its maiden voyage. We don’t depreciate bikes of any age. You’re covered for the value you’ve insured it for, even that vintage Stumpjumper in the garage. Just insure it for the cost to replace it with a current model or build (don’t forget your pedals), and you’ll have enough cover should the worst happen.
365 worldwide
Planning to take a trip to the Alps? we wish we were coming too! Whether you’re exploring, racing, or in transit with the airline, you’ll have the same level of cover for you and your bike as you do in the UK. *Public liability cover with PLUS and RACE policies excludes USA & Canada.
Vandalism
Seems unlikely, but if anyone gets a touch of the green-eyed monster and damages your pride and joy, we’ll cover you for that too.
50% multi-bike discount
How many bikes should you own… n+1? Correct. So we offer a 50% discount on all but your highest value bike, which means you don’t need a separate policy for each.

Alternative cycle hire
Airline trashes your bike on route to the Etape or you take a spill exploring foreign roads; if your bike’s damaged or stolen, we’ll cover a temporary hire bike up to £500 or the cost of your claim (whichever is lesser), so you can focus on your tan lines. Phew!
