Insurance: Cycle insurance falls into three groups. Insurance against theft is probably the most widely used, and often falls within household contents insurance, although there may be conditions of use. Personal injury and damage to bike insurance is separate to this and requires an individual policy. Many Insurance houses offer this service for reasonable premiums.
Breakdown and maintenance Insurances are available through large cycling firms. These insurance types are discussed in greater detail at Tredz Talk.
Finance: Many banks and small loan firms are willing and able to finance the purchase of cycles and cycling equipment. They compete with loans promoted by cycling retailers and specialist bicycle loan experts.
