I have previously made a claim for a bicycle, will this affect my cover?

• Whether the bicycle was insured or not you need to inform us of any bicycle related losses that you have had in the past three years. It is of paramount importance that we have this information. If you are in doubt you should inform us.

What value should I insure my bicycle for?

• For bicycles older than 2 years, the correct insured value of your bicycle is the current market value
