Do I need bicycle insurance?

Although bike insurance isn't a legal requirement in the UK, many cyclists crave a layer of protection beyond their lock and chain. And having bicycle cover makes sense. Even the humblest of two wheels can cost hundreds of pounds, and as Britain's towns and cities become more peddler-friendly, your bicycle may be your second or even primary form of transport.

But for all its benefits (improved cardiovascular and mental health, to name just a couple), cycling does carry a risk. Accidents are commonplace, as is theft. According to the Crime in England and Wales survey, there were 271,000 incidents of bicycle theft between April 2019 and March 2020. For opportunist thieves even a Kryptonite is no deterrent. Wheels, saddles and handlebars can all be stripped from a locked frame.

Fortunately, Trade Value Group's bicycle insurance protects you against these common incidents. What's more, we insure everything from mountain bikes to folding Bromptons, so whether you're a weekend roadie or a committed commuter, we'll do our best to keep you strapped in and peddling on.

What does bicycle insurance cover?

Trade Value Group's bicycle insurance protects you from theft; accidental and malicious damage; and loss, and that applies whether your bike is chained to the railings of your local café or locked within your home garage. You can add multiple bikes to your policy. Our maximum pay-out for successful claims is £1,500 for one bicycle, £3000 for multiple. As always, there is small print. Successful claims are subject to an excess fee, and there are limits to what we can cover.

Does my home insurance include bike cover?

No. Trade Value Group bicycle cover is an optional extra, so won't be included in your policy. But once you've purchased it, your bike will be protected whether it's taking you to work, inching you up a mountain or locked inside your front porch.

How much is bicycle insurance?

As always, our insurance premiums differ according to your needs. To make sure you pay a fair price, we'll run some checks before calculating your quote. To speed things up, just have the following info to hand: what's your bicycle's value? How many bicycles you wish to cover? What's the make and model of your bike? We can then ready up a quote and get your bicycle protected in no time.
