    Hey everyone,

    I'm looking for insurance against theft / damage for my bike.

    Is this a good one to go with? http://www.bicycleinsurance.ie/

    Has anyone done this before and have a company to recommend?

    Thanks,
    Evan

    Have you tried to add to it your house insurance ?

    Would that still cover it if I'm leaving it locked up (off street) at the office?

    Some of them do All Risks cover so worth a chat with them.

    That crowd won't insure any bike that has upgrades. I tried them and they wouldn't cover the replacement value of upgraded wheels or Groupset even with receipts provided

    ...I think also that the bike has to be <3 years old as well.

    Seen one called BIKMO which came up on my bookface feed, and they look ok from the website but I haven't seen/heard anything of them - seems they will insure by month as well. I'm taking two bikes to Catalonia next month and looks like I'd be able to insure them just for that month.
    Don't suppose anyone here had dealings with them?
