Is my bike covered as a part of Bicycle Network insurance?
No, your bike isn’t covered by Bicycle Network insurance. Your Bicycle Network membership covers you for personal injury and public liability.
If your bike has been damaged because of an incident involving a third-party, we can provide advice and assistance on how to deal with the situation. If they’re at fault, we can provide support to help recover the costs to repair or replace your bike and accessories. You need to take pictures of your property damage. Although it’s hard to go without your bike, we recommend not getting it fixed straight away.
Get in contact with us on (03) 8376 8888, and we’ll talk you through the best way to go about this as it may differ depending on the situation. When possible, remember at the time of the accident to get the details of the driver’s or person(s) involved.
If you’re looking to insure your bike, Bicycle Network also offers separate bike insurance coverage through Bike Insure. Featuring accidental damage cover, theft cover from home and away, transit cover, kit cover and much more. You can learn more and get a quote at the Bike Insure website.
What is the medical excess?
- $100 for personal injury (nil excess applies when claiming under private health insurance first)
- $1,000 for public liability
