Which is the best company to go for? I want breakdown and theft cover.

    I have it as part of my home policy, it won't cover breakdown (which to my mind is a waste on a bike anyway) but is the most cost effective way of doing it.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    Ah, good point. My bike is covered on my house insurance. I just want breakdown cover then.

    If you breakdown, get it nicked... Problem solved :)

    Added mine on the house insurance as well and it worked out a lot cheaper then a specialist insurers policy.

    AVIVA are quite good, they insure the bike in the home as standard and its not a lot more to get it coverd when out and about.

    Merlin single malt fixie (Commuter/winter/training)
    Trek superfly 7 (Summer XC)
    Giant Yukon singlespeed conversion (winter MTB/Ice/snow)

    £18.00 if you already have BC membership....http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/member ... cle-rescue

    or £18 if you don't....(https://www.eta.co.uk/insurance/cycle/) no idea whether either is any good, just what a quick Google displays

    Thanks for the links. I've already Googled and they all seem to charge a similar amount. I just wondered if anyone could recommend a particular company that they'd had experience with.
