Summary
Co-founded in 2014 by cyclist and triathlete Ryan Georgiades, Yellow Jersey specialises in comprehensive insurance for serious cyclists and high-value bicycles.
Unlike most other cycle insurers, Yellow Jersey has a tapered rate for more expensive bikes because it believes the higher the value of the bike, the greater care is taken of it and so the risk of theft is lowered.
The company sponsors cycling events and insurers professionals, including Team Wiggins.
We believe that Yellow Jersey offers quality cover for serious cyclists so we've worked with them to offer 10% discounts for cyclists who are racers or want to take their bike abroad. Click on the links to find out more and unlock the special offer.
