For Riders in Australia looking for bicycle insurance fortunately you have a number of options available. If you are looking for bicycle insurance, a good place to start is your state or regional cycling association.
Membership to these associations will often include bicycle insurance and, include free legal advice. Please check the relevant one in your particular state / region to ascertain what you actually get with your membership. You’ll find a list of links below to help.
In addition to these groups, there are now a number of commercial insurers who provide specific bicycle insurance. Fortunately in Australia, there are insurers who do cover this niche in the insurance market and, some include coverage for those wanting cover whilst racing their bicycle.
If you’ve had experience with an insurer for your bicycle, be it good or bad we’d like to hear about it. We can’t possibly review all insurers around the world and your opinion might assist others. Any Comments can be made at the bottom of the page.

Just wanted to tell everyone how great Velosure are! Their service is fantastic and they really put my mind at rest after my recent accident. They got be back on the bike quicker than I could have ever expected and even chased the drivers insurance on my behalf! If you are looking for a bicycle insurance policy that doesn’t make you insure your entire home & contents then Velosure is the way to go.

Just had a look at the bikesure website. They have option of home, contents and bike or bike on it’s own with public liability so if I hit someone I’m not up for the costs
