Strokes per minute, stride length, nutrition, training zones, transitions, functional threshold power….the list go on. If you are new to triathlon, you’re on track for a steep learning curve!
For many, progression in the sport signs a departure from the old faithful yet dilapidated set of running shoes to the latest Vapourflys and that once loved second-hand road bike from eBay, being cast deep into the shadows as you try to rationalise that spending over £4,000 on a time trial bike as a sensible option. Now you’re a fully committed triathlete with prospects of smashing new PB’s and pushing yourself to your limits, it’s probably a good time to consider specialist triathlon insurance
Pedal Cover has been supporting triathlon for over 10 years and designed policies with triathletes in mind. Here are ten reasons why a Pedal Cover policy can protect you.
No compromise bike cover
Pedal Cover policies are designed with real riders and athletes in mind. Our Combined Home and Bike policies cover bike collections up £50,000 with a single bike limit of £15,000.
Crash damage
Crashing happens and unfortunately, it’s part and parcel of cycling. All Pedal Cover policies cover your listed bikes and accessories for crash damage whether you’re on the roads or trails. We also cover the kit, helmet and glasses you’re wearing, for free.
No depreciation
Unlike some other insurers, we do not apply any depreciation to the value of your bike, no matter how hard you have ridden it or how old it is
Race fee cover
After months of preparation and sacrifice to ensure you are in the best condition for your bike event, there is nothing worse than having to pull out due to an unforeseen family emergency or medical reasons. Sadly getting your race fee refunded by some of the popular long distance organisers is can be very difficult. Fear not, Pedal Cover include entry fee cancellation cover up to £500….Phew!
Customer focussed
Pedal Cover have won multiple awards including ‘claims team of the year’ and ‘Best Customer engagement’ at the Customer Excellence Awards. We have heavily invested in new products and technology along the way, all to make the process as seamless as possible for our customers. We have, and always will retain a core group of customer service staff who cycle and understand your needs. They are only a phone call away, so if doing things online isn’t really you, give us a call.
Taxi reimbursement
Bike broken on the side of the road and can’t be fixed? Don’t worry, we cover up to £200 to cover the cost of a taxi to get you home.
Bike box cover
Taking your bike abroad? You’ll need a bike box. Pedal Cover provides free damage and loss cover for your bike box when travelling abroad up to £1000.
One policy, one renewal
Let’s be honest, insurance isn’t the most exciting subject on our minds. We get it, that’s why we think having your home and bicycles on one policy is the best way of doing things. Save time and money with our combined Home and Bike Policy. Don’t need home cover at the moment? No problem, we also offer a standalone rolling monthly bicycle insurance policy which can be cancelled at any time.
Premium home cover
With up to £1m building cover, £100k contents cover, Liability cover, legal cover, accidental damage, personal possessions cover, valuables up to £30,000, personal accident cover, contents at university and much more, you can relax knowing you’re in good hands.
