Im looking to insure my bike. Anyone have any good or bad stories regarding Insurance companies and whom i should go for? My house insurance only covers bikes up to the value of £500 which sucks. I want specific insurance that WILL cover me for off road riding, theft, breakages, injuries and for events from being struck by lightening right up to being attacked by a starled grizzy bear (escaped from the zoo and finding refuge in a small hallow at the rounding of a pariculary Fab section of downhill riding, being startled by my whooloping crys of joy....

you should try direct line online and marks & spencers online also suprisingly enough both give good cover apparently looking to change from lloyds myself soon on account of the same reasons that and they are quite poo anyway lol

Marks & Spencer home insurance is good because the maximum single value of an item is £4,000 (I think)which should cover most bikes. I found the premiun was rather high though (ie double what In was paying) so unless you have lots of expensive possessions it probably is not worth it.

Try More Than. They insure any bike up to max of £2500 I think.

seems ok but wouldnt replace my down hill bike wich would cost half that again and then i must also take in to account that my partner and i have nine bikes between us?

Go for specialist bike insurance. Evans Cycles/Endsleigh etc.

For home insurance come to me at Swinton, mention your from BMBC and i will give you 10% off and we are really cheap as well.

phone number is 01179660454 ask for Andy.
