Cycle insurance for mountain bikers
Choose your coverReady for the trails?
If your main passion is mountain biking we can understand why. It’s a great individual sport that requires endurance, core strength and balance, bike handling skills and self-reliance. It’s also a sport which presents a number of risks to both rider and equipment, which is where cycle insurance can help.
Home Insurance alert
Many cyclists are happy to have their home insurance cover their bikes as it’s usually inexpensive. However, don’t assume you bike is covered as home insurers will usually have limitations and exclusions on how your cycle can be used. Home insurance simply wasn’t designed to insure the modern cyclist.
Once outside the home, almost no home insurance covers accidental damage, personal accident, public liability or any of the other benefits usually associated with specific cycling insurance. Home insurers often impose large excess amounts, commonly in the region of £500 and in addition to this, you home insurance ‘no claims’ may be affected. We recommend you carefully assess the level of cycle cover you have on your home insurance and what your exposure is in the event of claim.
Theft & Accidental Damage
If your bike is stolen or accidentally damaged, we’ll sort it out. Your bicycle may be stolen from your home or from outside your regular coffee stop, if the worst happens we’ll replace your bike with a brand new one if you are the first owner. Any second-hand bicycle will be replaced with a model of the same market value. Either way, you’re covered. We even insure your bike when locked in your car or when secured to your roof rack.
You may be concerned about accidental damage if you’ve ever hit a pothole at speed, slipped on ice or cornered a little bit too fast. We’ll cover you for repairs or a complete replacement and even replace any accessories that were damaged at the same time.
Taxi Fare Reimbursement if you get stuck
In the event of a breakdown don’t get stuck on the side of the road. If you have a mechanical, be safe and get a taxi on us. We’ll reimburse you for transport to your home or the closest transport link up to the value of £250.
