Cycling Ireland launched a new partnership with Bikmo today, with an insurance offering for their members covering their bikes and kit from theft and accidental damage.
Cycling Ireland members already benefit from the personal insurance included in the membership including public liability and personal accident. From today, members now have the option to take out cover for their bikes and kit.
Award winning cycle insurer Bikmo, underwritten by UK General, protects bikes and kit against theft or accidental damage. They also include extra benefits as standard such as event cover, zero depreciation of bikes and worldwide protection.
The announcement comes after figures released by the gardaí reported a 15% rise in cycle theft in Dublin with an average of 12 bikes stolen every day and less than one in ten being recovered.
Speaking of the partnership announcement, Geoff Liffey commented:
“Our aim in Cycling Ireland is to promote and develop cycling, and to support people in their enjoyment of the sport. We are delighted to partner with Bikmo, and to offer our members discounted insurance on their bikes and kit, with a proven insurance provider like Bikmo.
“We particularly like the more innovative features such as ‘event fee’ and ‘returning home’ covers.”
Bikmo CEO David George commented:
“Governing bodies play a huge part in the development of our sport. We’re excited to be able to support the success of Cycling Ireland, with an insurance product and claims service that has helped thousands of cyclists to keep on cycling.”
Cycling Ireland members save 10% on their policy.
