Summary
PedalSure is a cycling insurance company that specialises in cover for cyclists first, and their bikes second. That means PedalSure focuses on cover for risks like injuries as a result of a crash.
Its policies allow cyclists to insure just themselves, just their bikes, or both together.
Its cyclist option acts like specialist health insurance and will pay out for physio and dental care following an accident. It also includes personal accident and public liability cover. By insuring your bike you have the added benefits of payouts for damage and theft.
All of its policies allow for amateur races, time trials and sportives.
PedalSure ranked highly in our guide to the best cycling insurers.
We believe PedalSure offers quality cover for cyclists so we've worked with them to offer 10% discounts for new cyclists and city cyclists.
