Specialist bicycle insurance covering theft, accidental damage, liability, and riding activities — designed specifically for how bikes are ridden, stored, and replaced.
Not all bicycle insurance works the same.
At Pedal Cover, claims aren’t an afterthought — they’re central to how our bicycle insurance is built.
Our cover is designed around the outcome every cyclist wants: getting back on the bike as quickly as possible. Because we only insure cyclists, our claims and cover are shaped around how bikes are actually ridden, stored, repaired, and replaced — across road, gravel, cargo, and performance disciplines such as triathlon.
Specialist bicycle insurance claims handled by cyclists.
From road and gravel builds to cargo setups and high-value components, decisions are made with cyclists in mind.
Direct access to specialist parts and suppliers
This means we can source appropriate components for modern road, gravel and cargo bikes — not generic substitutes.
Decisions made with cyclists in mind
Cover decisions are made based on how cyclists actually ride, train and commute — not call-centre scripts or one-size-fits-all rules.
Our cyclist-only risk pool includes road, gravel, cargo and triathlon riders — all insured within the same specialist community.
Claims are handled by former bike mechanics and cycling industry specialists who understand components, specifications and real-world replacement values. This leads to faster decisions, fewer disputes, and better outcomes for riders.
We also work directly with specialist repairers and hold key bike parts in-house, helping reduce delays and get cyclists back on the road sooner.
Our bicycle insurance covers your bike at home, away, and while riding — protecting against the things cyclists actually worry about, including theft, accidental damage, and liability. We insure all types of bikes, from road and gravel to electric, cargo, and custom builds, with cover designed around how bikes are really used.
Theft cover at home and away
Covers theft of your bicycle at home or away, including when it’s locked up in public, in line with your policy security requirements.
Accidental damage while riding or handling your bike
Covers accidental damage to your bicycle while riding, transporting, loading, or storing it — not just when it’s locked up.
Third-party liability while cycling
Includes third-party liability cover if you injure someone or damage property while riding your bike.
Cover while riding, training, and taking part in events
Covers everyday riding, training, commuting, and participation in organised cycling events, depending on your chosen cover.
Choose bicycle-only insurance for standalone cover, or combine your bike with home contents insurance designed for cycling households.
Ideal for cyclists who want specialist cover for one or more bikes — including road, gravel, cargo and triathlon bikes — without bundling home insurance. Policies are flexible with no annual lock-in.
Designed for cyclists with multiple or high-value bikes stored at home, including larger or specialist bikes such as cargo bikes, with cover extending beyond standard contents policies.
Bicycle insurance typically covers theft of your bike at home or away, accidental damage while riding or handling your bike, and third-party liability if you injure someone or damage property while cycling. Cover is designed around real cycling risks rather than generic household assumptions, with options depending on how and where you ride.
Yes.
Bicycle insurance can cover multiple bikes under one policy, with each bike insured at its correct value. This works whether you own different bikes for different types of riding, such as road, gravel, triathlon, or time trial etc.
Bicycle insurance can cover riding, training, and participation in organised events, depending on the level of cover you choose. This allows cyclists to insure everyday riding as well as performance disciplines, including crit racing, triathlon, and other competitive events.
Yes. Bicycle insurance includes third-party liability cover, protecting you if you injure someone or damage property while cycling. This applies whether you are riding for leisure, commuting, or training, in line with your policy terms.
Absolutely.
We insure all types of bikes — including road bikes, mountain bikes, electric bikes, gravel bikes, cargo bikes and even custom builds.
Yes.
We cover electric bikes that meet UK legal definitions, including pedal-assist e-bikes used for commuting, leisure riding, and training. Batteries, motors, and specialist components are all treated as part of the bike — not awkward extras.
Yes — with the right cover in place.
You can extend your bicycle insurance to cover your bike abroad, giving you the same protection for theft and accidental damage as you have in the UK, subject to the policy terms.
If you’re also looking to cover you (and your family) for things like medical expenses, trip disruption, or cycling-related incidents while overseas, you’ll need separate cycle travel insurance. This is designed specifically for riding abroad and includes medical and travel protection alongside your bike.
We’ll always make it clear which cover you need before you travel, so there are no surprises.
You can.
Many cyclists start with bike-only insurance and move to home & contents with cycle cover later — or vice versa. We’ve designed our policies so you can adapt your cover as your circumstances change, without losing the specialist claims handling you signed up for.
Yes. Gravel bikes are covered under our bicycle insurance in the same way as road bikes, subject to the policy terms and riding conditions.
Cargo bikes are covered under our bicycle insurance, with cover designed to reflect their higher value and everyday use, subject to the policy terms.
Yes. Triathlon bikes are covered under our bicycle insurance in the same way as road bikes.
Cover is designed around how bikes are actually used, stored, repaired, and replaced, including bikes used for structured training and competition, subject to the policy terms and conditions.
Yes. Bicycle insurance is available on a monthly rolling basis, allowing you to make changes or cancel your cover in line with the policy terms. This flexibility is designed to adapt as your riding, equipment, or circumstances change.

Cycle Travel insurance is designed specifically for cyclists heading overseas to train, ride, or compete — with medical and trip protection built around cycling as the main purpose of travel.
This cover is separate from bike and home insurance, and applies when cycling is the reason you’re travelling abroad, not just something you do while you’re away.
