On the topic of bike insurance, just be aware that insurance companies will not cover you for component failure. Only accidents. I say this only because I had a Ultegra RD go on me recently which chewed out my wheel spokes & chain resulting in all brand new stuff from my own pocket. PDS states that they will not cover component failure. So read your PDS carefully to see what your covered for, theft included.

A week or two later we had a home invasion with some punks breaking in to steal the keys to my BMW. They were disturbed and ran (still managed to grab some valuables) - Homer Simpson moment
Claims process was excellent. You get what you forpay for.

Total payout over 15k, paid within 2 weeks.
I'd recommend them.

To be fair to other insurers, all of them would likely have paid for the last two if you had listed your bikes as specified items.pawnii wrote:I'm with Cycle Cover. Made 3 claims in the last 3 years. First time I hit a car and the other two times I drive into the garage with my bike on the roof of the car.

The crash with the car, even without specifying they would have paid for the damage to the car, but not for your bike (repairs or replacement).
The quotes I've received tell me I could replace a bike every 2nd year with a brand new full carbon ultegra roadie if I simply stuck with my current insurer instead of paying the extra charged by cycle cover.
