Specialist cycle insurance from cycleGuard

Protect your bike and accessories

With over 20 years of cycle insurance experience, we are excited to be partnering with This Girl Rows! So, regardless of the type of cycling you enjoy, or how you ride your two wheels, you can cycle with confidence knowing that we've got you and your bike covered.

Why choose cycleGuard?

Household insurance may not provide the level of cover you need when you're serious about cycling, such as cover when away from home, accidental damage, cover whilst competing or Public Liability protection - essential cover features for any keen cyclist. That's why we advise you check your policy with your current provider to ensure all your needs are covered.

    How can we help if you're involved in an accident?

    All our policies now include extra legal protection through our Cycling Legal Expenses cover, which is automatically included with all our policies purchased or renewed after 23rd June 2024

    We provide up to £100,000 of legal expenses cover that can help you claim back losses that have resulted from a cycling accident or injury caused in the UK. This includes:

    • Claiming back your bicycle insurance policy excess
    • Obtaining compensation from the person responsible if you or your passengers have been injured
    • Claiming back other losses such as storage charges, loss of earnings or damage to personal effects.

    In addition, we also include our Legal & Tax Advice helpline and online support through our Business & Consumer Legal Services portal.

    It’s easy to cover your cycling accessories with us. We can cover up to £2,500 of your cycling equipment. Includes light sets, clothing, shoes and more. Mobiles and smartphones excluded.

  • Theft and Accidental Damage

    If your bike is stolen from your home or damaged in a crash or accident whilst you are out and about, cycleGuard is there to help get you back on your ride. Cover available for bikes up to £20,000. Security and lock requirements apply.

  • Cycle Rescue

    What happens if your bike breaks down?

    If your bike ‘breaks down’ or you suffer an injury and can’t finish your ride, our UK Cycle Rescue cover is there 24/7 to help you get home or to an alternative safe place. Cover applies when you’re more than a quarter of a mile away from your home.

  • Cover Abroad

    Heading overseas with your bike?

    If your ride takes you outside of the UK, our cover for your folding bike and accessories will automatically include 30 days cover in the EU. Worldwide cover option also available.

  • New for Old Cover

    Why should you lose out when making a claim?

    We understand what your bike means to you, which is why we offer genuine new for old replacement, and we don’t depreciate the value of your bike when you make a claim. Proof of purchase needed when making a claim.

  • In-Vehicle Cover

    Is your bike covered in the car?

    You can rest easy when you’re away from home and your bike is being securely stored in your car or secured to your bike rack, as we automatically include theft cover for bikes left in or on unattended vehicles. Security requirements apply.
