I am not advocating this but i am interested in what all you bike riders think.
I am about to take to the busier roads and i do worry that i may not be covered if i am injured in an accident. Is it really worth spending money on insurance and do they actually pay out after an unfortunate event?
Also last year I had a cyclist leave a huge scratch down the side of my car in Hackney and i would have loved the chance to claim from them for the re-spray. (Wishful thinking?) Will it work this way round if i cause an accident or damage a vehicle?
Here are the articles that started me thinking it MAY be a good idea

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-15892074
Are any of you insured? What do you think?
P.S I just found this letter which may get some of you all bothered. I would love to hear your views. At the moment i kind of agree with the writer but i am open minded. http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2012/04/26/letter-cyclists-should-have-insurance/
