Bike Insurance

Many riders have quite expensive bikes, so the question of insurance is becoming ever important. Kenny Robinson. a Rugby RCC and Rugby Tri Club, member works in insurance and has recently sent this message and has also posted it on the Tri Club website.

"As you may (or may not know) I work for a local insurance broker. Having a fairly valuable bike of my own, insurance for it has been something I was keen to sort this year and I did not want to have to get it separately at an exorbitant premium for events and travel abroad etc!

My colleague Dawn Beachus has found us a facility where bike cover up to £5,000 can be included in a household policy at very reasonable rates. This is all risks cover and, I think, a very good deal. Dave Fawcett has used us and added his bike to his household policy. He suffered some damage to his rear wheel in transit back from Roth in the summer and has just heard that the insurance is going to settle to replace the pair!

If anyone is interested in this, please contact Dawn Beachus on 01926 405045 or dawn.beachus@bateman-group.co.uk and mention that you are from Rugby Tri Club (or Rugby RCC) and she will be only too pleased to have a look at it for you."
