Colorado Springs, Colorado / June 29, 2023 – We are thrilled to announce that USA Cycling has partnered with BikeInsure through 2026, a bike insurance company that shares our commitment to advancing the critical “need” to protect bicycles with his specialty bicycle insurance policy.
As a USA Cycling member, you can quickly sign up for BikeInsure Bike cover to protect your new and used bicycles and e-bikes from damage resulting from riding accidents or during transportation. Plus, you can even add an optional bike Anti-theft protection. When the optional Theft Protection is selected, your coverage extends to a stolen bicycle or e-bike.
Just log in to your USA Cycling Member Account to begin the registration process and enjoy the “peace of mind” with BikeInsure coverage.
BikeInsure CEO Buzzy Cohn advises USA Cycling members to get a specialty bicycle insurance policy to avoid driving, transit or theft risks. Although home insurance is necessary to protect your home against catastrophic loss, it is probably insufficient to protect your bike or e-bike. Home insurance usually involves high deductibles and filing a claim can increase your insurance premium. Making multiple claims can result in your policy not being renewed and included in the insurance industry’s CLUE report, making it difficult to obtain future home coverage. The BikeInsure policy is a simple bike insurance solution that offers comprehensive coverage. The significant benefit is that making a claim with a BikeInsure policy will have no impact on your owner’s insurance coverage.
“As the official bicycle insurance provider of USA Cycling, BikeInsure brings a wealth of expertise and experience in protecting bicycles against theft, damage and accidents. This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to support and enhance the cycling experience for cyclists of all skill levels across the nation,” said Eric Bennett, Director of Memberships at USA Cycling. “Through our partnership with BikeInsure, we aim to provide cyclists across the states Unite the peace of mind they deserve, ensuring they can ride and race with confidence, knowing their bikes are protected.”
