Anyone use "Cycle Recovery" from Lexham Insurance?

[dalewheeler]

I've been asked to look into this on behalf of our cycle club, apparently it's possible for the club to earn a few quid for each member who signs up. So I'm wondering "What's not to like?" (apart from maybe a bit of extra admin work for our club secretary)

Anyone use it?
Anything they don't cover?

Hw many times are you going to claim over (say) 3 years, and how far will a £45 taxi ride get you.

And if you claim less than once every three years, well - I leave that as a simple exercise in arithmetic.

Can anyone find a policy wording? I'd want to see that before commenting.

If I'm out on my bike, then my pickup is sad idle at home. A phone call for help will have Mrs Drago or my daughter wending their way towards me in my truck, flask of hot Bovril poised to give me comfort and succour.

I got it free, or something similar a year or so ago with, I think British Cycling Membership via a triathlon club. At least I think that was how, but I'm not sure, was free with something anyway.
Never needed to use it, bikes are pretty simple things when it comes to it. Tyre deflations don't happen on the shopping bike(M+ tyres) - just as well as I need awhile to get one on/off. Roadbike is easy. Only thing that has left me walking 10 minutes to nearest bike shop was a broken chain and no tool.

Edit: Just had memory jogged by something I read, I had the Institute of Advanced Motorists Total Cycle Assist. Still can't remember how I got it free though.
