Cycle Insurance For Road Bikes
Choose your cover
Whether you race or cycle for fun we can insure you and your bicycle against the risks you may face on the road.
There’s nothing quite like the open road. Whether that’s a gentle ride with friends, a Box Hill climb (and cake stop) or a challenging sportive, road cycling gives all levels of riders an opportunity to enjoy the thrill of the ride. By insuring your bike with Wiggle, we’ll give you peace of mind, giving you more time to focus on having fun (or serious training of course).
As a road cyclist, here’s five good reasons why you should consider Wiggle cycle insurance:
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 bike 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 per policy period.
