CTC membership

iclestu

anyone a member?

Worth it?

Magazine any good?

davis

Yes.

For the insurance, in my eyes, yes.

Better than you might expect, but it's nothing Earth-shattering.

Stone Glider

Yes

Yes, insurance and a 12% discount @ Wiggle.

Better than nothing, the balance is good.

turnerjohn

I went with British Cycling membership instead. I don't think there's a lot in it to be honest.

I've just gone with BC as it was £13 cheaper, with a 10% introductory offer, with the same insurance and discount benefit, although the Wiggle discount is pretty meaningless, as it only applies to the full RRP

i thought the insurance was just third party insurance if you damage somone elses property or something?

Both have £10million third party insurance + legal assistance; BC can also cover you for accident insurance with their Gold Policy circa £65 pa

Compare British cycling membership packages

I can (partially) attest to the quality of BC's legal support. So far they've been quick to act and very communicative.

For ~£20 or whatever it was it's well worth it.

+1 for insurance

For a cheaper CTC deal, go for affiliate membership through a club. No magazine, but you get the insurance..

exlaser

yes and yes, but when reading the mag you can sometimes get an overwhelming urge to wear tweed and grow a beard!

ChrisLS

Yes. BC or CTC, don't ride uninsured...
