Cycle Insurance

Cycle Insurance protects your bike from theft, damage, and third-party liability. Find out more about cover options.

Cycle Insurance can give riders like you peace of mind when you’re out and about or locking up your bike for the day. With protection for theft, damage, and third-party injury, you can set out on your next two-wheeled adventure safe in the knowledge that you have the right cover in place.

Whether you use your bicycle to commute, compete, or test out your skills in a BMX park, quality insurance for bicycles can ensure both you and your bike are protected. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Cycler to provide all the protection you need.

It is also very useful if you are borrowing a vehicle that you don’t usually drive, such as a van. This means that you can transport a bulky item or your belongings when moving house.

Bike Theft Insurance

Bike theft is, unfortunately, a real concern, especially in urban areas or for high-value cycles. Our policies provide comprehensive theft cover whether your bike is stolen from your home, work, or while locked up in public. We’ll make sure your policy matches your storage setup, so there are no nasty surprises at claim time.

From frame to wheels and accessories, we help you get cover that recognises the full value of your bike. With options to cover replacement costs, new-for-old terms, and accessories like locks, panniers and GPS, you’ll be back on the road, or trail, as quickly as possible.

E-Bike Insurance

E-bikes are a modern solution to commuting, leisure and low-impact transport, but they also come with unique risks. Whether you’re riding to work or clocking up weekend miles, we can arrange cover tailored to your e-bike, including protection for the motor and battery. You’ll be covered for theft, accidental damage, and public liability, so you can ride confidently, knowing you’ve got the right support in place.

Our policies can also include personal accident cover and options for cycle accessories, plus protection for e-bikes stored in shared or public spaces. We’ll help you navigate the fine print and find a policy that reflects the value and usage of your e-bike—without overpaying for unnecessary extras.

Road Bike Insurance

Road bikes are precision machines, and whether you’re training, touring, or racing, you want the peace of mind that your gear is properly protected. We arrange cover for high-spec road bikes, including against accidental damage, crashes, and third-party liability. So if the unexpected happens mid-ride, your policy won’t leave you spinning.

With options to cover racing events, overseas use, and even wheelsets and tech, we tailor each policy to how you ride. Whether you’re a club cyclist or a solo weekend warrior, we make sure your bike, and your wallet, are protected every mile.

BMX Insurance

BMX riders need insurance that moves with them, whether you’re hitting the skate park, racing on track, or simply cruising the streets. We can arrange policies that cover your BMX against theft, damage and accidental loss, plus options for personal accident cover if things go wrong mid-trick.

Because BMX bikes are often customised and used in dynamic environments, we work with insurers who understand your needs. From pegs and stunt upgrades to high-spec frames, we’ll help you protect the bike you’ve built your way.

Mountain Bike Insurance

Your MTB sees it all, rough terrain, forest trails, downhill jumps, and it needs a policy that can keep up. We offer cover for hardtails, full suspension, e-MTBs and more, with protection against theft, impact damage, and even worldwide use for riding abroad.

Whether you’re an occasional trail rider or someone who lives for the climbs and drops, we’ll arrange cover that reflects your bike’s value and the way you ride. Add-ons like helmet and gear cover or event use mean your entire setup stays protected—on and off the mountain.

Cycling Holiday Insurance

Taking your bike abroad? We can arrange specialist cycling holiday cover that protects both you and your bike on the move. From lost luggage and trip cancellations to accidental bike damage and medical emergencies, we’ll make sure your entire cycling trip is properly insured.

Whether it’s a leisure tour or a training camp, we can include cover for overseas riding, event entry, and more. Plus, we’ll guide you through travel insurance options that pair with your cycle cover, so you’re fully protected from departure to return.

Cycling Insurance FAQs

Got questions about cycle insurance? Whether you’re covering a commuter bike, a high-end road machine or your e-bike setup, our FAQs cut through the jargon. We’ve answered the most common queries around cover types, theft protection, racing use and more—so you can ride with clarity and confidence.

What types of bikes can I insure with Chris Knott?

We can arrange cover for a wide range of bikes—including road bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes, BMX, tandems, and cargo bikes. Whether you use your bike for commuting, leisure, or competition, we’ll match you with a policy that suits the bike and how you ride it.

Does my cycle insurance cover theft?

Yes, theft cover is a core part of most policies we arrange. Whether your bike is stolen from home, work, or while locked in a public space, we can make sure you’re covered—as long as it meets the insurer’s security requirements (like using an approved lock).

Is my bike covered if I’m racing or taking part in events?

It can be—just let us know. Many of our insurers offer optional event or competition cover, which protects your bike during timed races or organised rides. If you’re involved in club cycling or triathlons, we’ll find a policy that reflects that.

Can I get cover for my cycling gear and accessories?

Yes. We can arrange optional cover for items like helmets, lights, clothing, GPS units, and even panniers or cargo attachments. If it’s part of your cycling setup, we’ll help make sure it’s protected.

Am I covered for cycling abroad?

If you’re planning a cycling trip overseas, just let us know. We can include overseas cover for theft, damage, and even emergency medical costs or bike hire. Whether it’s a training camp, leisure tour or race abroad, we’ve got you covered.

What happens if I damage my bike in a crash?

Accidental damage is often included in our cycle policies. If your bike is damaged in a fall or collision, we can help you claim for repairs or a replacement, depending on your policy terms. We’ll always explain what is (and isn’t) covered so there are no surprises.

Do I need public liability cover as a cyclist?

It’s not a legal requirement, but it’s strongly recommended. Public liability insurance protects you if you accidentally injure someone or damage property while riding. Many of our policies include this as standard, and we’ll make sure it’s right for your needs.
