Many cyclists rely on home insurance to protect their bike, but this type of cover often does not extend to the same level of protection when the bike is being used out on the road. While some policies include bicycles as part of your contents, cover can be limited, especially for theft or damage away from home.
Bicycle insurance is designed specifically for cyclists, offering more comprehensive protection both at home and on the move, with options for how and where you ride.
For more information and the full list of what’s covered and not, visit our important documents page.
Remember, the policies we arrange are provided on the basis that bikes left unattended are secured to an immovable object using either the appropriate Sold Secure rated lock or Thatcham-approved lock. You can learn more about the security requirements here.
Bicycle insurance through Cycleplan can help financially protect you across a range of cycling situations, including:
• Commuters — cover for riding to work and theft while your bike is stored securely at your workplace or away from home
• E-bike and high-value bike owners — theft and damage protection up to £30,000, including accessories
• Families and multi-bike households — cover multiple bikes under a single policy
• Event and sportive riders — covered for amateur races, sportives and charity rides
On average, Cycleplan customers pay £79 a year* for Equipment cover for bikes worth £3,000 and Public Liability of £1m. This can include cover for one or multiple bikes on a policy within this value. The price can increase depending on the value of your bike, the level of cover and optional add-ons selected.

"A bicycle is often a valued possession, whether it is received as a gift or bought for personal use. In 2025, 50% of claims were for bicycle theft, highlighting the importance of sensible security precautions. Using appropriate locks and following good security practices at home and when out and about can significantly reduce the risk of theft.
"When away from home, it is important to ensure your bicycle is secured to an immovable object. Our policy wording and website offer further guidance on recommended security measures to help minimise the risk of loss."

Regardless of how often you ride, the financial risks are more common than most cyclists realise. In 2025, there were over 52,000 reported bike thefts in the UK - but with an estimated 70% of thefts going unreported, the real figure could be closer to 183,000. That's around 500 bikes a day.
And theft is only part of the picture. A collision on the road can leave you injured and your bike badly damaged at the same time — two costs hitting you at once, with no warning.
There's a common assumption that home contents insurance covers your bike. It might — but often only partially. Many home insurers require an additional premium to include bikes, and even then, cover is typically limited to theft from your home. Riding on the road, taking your bike on a train, or travelling abroad may not be covered at all. To be sure if your home insurance covers you for all the situations you may need it for, check your policy wording.
Specialist cycling insurance is designed around how cyclists ride — offering dedicated cover for theft, damage and personal injury that may not be available under a standard home contents policy.
Electric bikes have grown rapidly in popularity for their convenience, sustainability, affordability and health benefits.
Your home insurance may not cover your bike outside of the home and is unlikely to cover in the case of accidents.
Your policy may be invalid if your bike is stolen and you don't have proof of owning an approved bike lock.
Bike insurance is designed for anyone who owns a bike. Regardless of how often you ride or even how much your bike is worth (up to £30k), you can get insurance to suit your needs through Cycleplan.
Obviously, not everyone considers themselves a cycling pro—so that’s why you don’t have to be one to get cover. Whatever stage of your cycling journey you’re at, Cycleplan is here to help.

Yes, multi-bike insurance through Cycleplan allows you to cover multiple bikes on one policy.
What’s more—if you add more than one bike to your policy, you’ll also get a 10% premium discount on all bikes (excluding the one with the highest value).

The insured value of your bike depends on its age and purchase history. If it’s up to 3 years old and was purchased new, the value should be based on the RRP price. If your bicycle is over 3 years old, then its indemnity value should be used.
For Equipment and Accessories Cover, the standard Cycleplan policy excess is £50 or 10% of the claim value. However, you can select a higher amount if you wish, which will reduce your premium.
Alternatively, you can also choose a zero policy excess, but this will increase your premium. More information on claims can be found in our important documents.
There is no excess on Public Liability claims.
Public Liability Cover is not available for people under the age of 16.
