Hi,
I am the proud owner of a mountain bike worth £2,200 and obviously I am keen to get this insured as soon as possible.
I was wondering what insurers other people have gone for and what sort of price bracket would be reasonable for this value of bike.
Any thoughts would be greatly received.

    Some people take seperate insurance, some include it under their household policies.
    Mine is either in the house, on my roofrack or being ridden so I don't bother.
    Have a hack for if I feel the urge to ride to the shops.

    There are some good separate policies, however I cover my road and MTB's under my household policy with Marks & Spencer as they give the best cover.

    TT bike is covered elsewhere but thats as I need cover whilst racing - but do a quick google search and you will find something pretty good for what you want.
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    I use a company called ETA as I commute on mine everywhere in Summer.

    They do new for old cover so if my six year old Rockhopper that I leave locked with a Kryptonite lock by Ealing Broadway station every night in the dark away from any streetlights and sheltered from view of the road happened to go missing I'd get a brand new Rockhopper.

    That was all a joke and a lie by the way, my bikes in my hallway. But it is insured for that, you should check them out.
