FAQ?

If you choose the optional sports cover then yes. When you are competing in a bike race or triathlon you are covered against theft, accidental damage and vandalism, public liability cover. If you have opted for personal accident cover then if you are seriously injured you are covered.
When you take part in a triathlon, your bike is covered against theft when it is left in the transition area. The bike does not need to be locked while it is in the transition areas as long as the area is supervised by an adult marshal (which is usually the case).
With our cycle insurance the value your bike is not depreciated for the first three years. This means that you get back the sum you insured it for, minus the excess. You should cover your bike for the full replacement value – this is the price your bike and accessories would cost new in a shop including VAT. You cannot insure your bike for more than it is worth.
You can opt for EU wide corer which will cover your bicycle while travelling in Europe or the UK (up to 30 day in a policy year). This will covered theft, accidental damage and vandalism and third party cover. If you are camping, you must ensure that your bike is locked to an immovable object (a sizeable tree would do) and is not left unattended near a train station or tram station for more than 24 hours.

Yes. The policy covers accidental damage during competitive cycling whether it’s on-road, off-road downhill mountain biking or a freestyle BMX indoor competition.
When the bike is not in the insured location and unattended, as specified in the policy document, it must be secured through the frame to an immovable object using a lock which is specified in the 'Sold Secure' list of cycle locks which is appropriate to the insured value of the bicycle. If the insured value of the bike is less than €1000 you require a Silver rated lock, if the insured value of the bike is over €1000 you require a Gold rated lock.
