Only down side to Cyclesure is there new form requires you to DRAW a picture of how you damage happend...this can lead to some pretty funny drawings. I was sneaky enough to get Velouria to send me his claim form for a new R.D after he hit it on a rock at the Rock Pedal Classic race..

me: i'd like to insure my new bicycle. can i get a quote?

outsurance dude: sure. is it a private or commercial vehicle?

me: uhm. it's a bicycle. private then.

od: k. what kind of bike is it?

me: all mountain. dual suspension.

od: you should have rather gone for hardtail. they are way faster

me: oh.

od: where did you buy it?

me: linden cycles.

od: did you check out cajees? they are way cheaper, you know. and big variety of bicycles.

me: no, didn't go to cajees. uhm.

od: the shock has a lock-out?

me: no.

od: you should have gotten a lock-out. you are going to struggle on climbs.

me: uhm. can you get me a quote?

od: k. when you getting the bike?

me: friday.

od: have you had it insured with anyone else until now?

me: no. it's a new bike, i'm picking it up on friday

 

then the conversation went on a bit ... and with the cubbyhole-thing posted above in mind, the following questions:

me: if i do a nightrode, and after the ride put the bike on the bikerack behind the car, and the bike is stolen while i drink hot chocolate at doppio zero, would it be covered?

od: yes. it's comprehensive cover.

me: if the bicycle is on the bike-rack behind the car because i'll be going somewhere after work, and i go to sandton city and park the car, and the bike gets stolen while im shopping, would it be covered?

od: yes. it's comprehensive cover.

 

<further insurance questions>

od: k, terms and conditions ... blablabla ... and the insured item must be inside the car and hidden from view, e.g. cubby-hole or boot.

me: uhm. it's a bicycle. it would not fit in the cubby-hole.

od: oh. ok. i'll have to ask my boss about that, then.

 

then he put me on hold. 5 minutes later i was still on hold, and cut the call.

 

got a quote from cyclesure, waiting for 2 more quotes and then will decide.

I am with Santam. They have a specific cyclist package which I did not opt for. I do have my normal insurance with them on which my bike is specified. This includes all damage, including in competition. 

Last year I hit a car and my frame snapped. The repair quote was  R14 000.00 for a new frame. A new bike was R18 500.00.

 

Santam told me that the new price was so similar to the repair bill, they would rather replace the whole bike. I received my money within 2 days of submitting the claim.

 

Very good service.
