How do you insure your bike? Part of the home contents policy or unique insurance? I keep my bike in the house but my home insurers still want it padlocked to the wall! Any recommendations?

    You can take out specific insurance through companies that specialise in bike cover. When I looked into it, they required quite a lot of 'security' in terms of locks, where it was kept etc and I felt not good value (especially as I had 2 bikes). They advertise in the bike mags and probably on this website.

    I got mine done with our home/contents policy. No extra. Both bikes covered for theft. No special requirements about where they are kept. I don't think they are covered away from the house but that's a risk I'll have to take.#

    It may be worth changing your home insurance to get them covered on that.

    Marks and Spencer home insurance usually gets recommenced. They will cover bike up to £4k without having to list them. This question comes up quite regularly so might be worth you searching the forum.
