Following on from TRC's thread of a few weeks ago, this article in the money section of the Grauniad is worth a read.

I've always thought that firms offering dedicated cycle insurance were shocking value, but this story goes to new levels. I think I've seen E&L advertise in Cycle. Perhaps a word with the CTC about one of their advertiser's practices?
Although the poor sod who got caught with this is a student so won't have house insurance, it seems that a few insurers these days are offering bolt-on 'full' (i.e away from the house) cycle protection with their house-and-contents that's much better value. After Howard's suggestion, I had a look at the AXA policy and it seems very reasonable, although I thought the wording was a little vague in places. I guess if there's any doubt, give them a ring.
