Insurance replacement bike

[MissTillyFlop]

Just wanted to say that I have found Tesco Insurance really good to deal with - they ARE reclaiming the costs from the driver, they just have a different team and the home insurance people aren't well versed in handling RTAs, which is where the above came from. I also spoke to a supervisor about the possibility of waiting for driver to pay up to get bike from LBS and she said that of course this is a possibility, it would just take longer as it is reliant on the other party and their insurer.

I used to work in insurance and I am very pleased with the speed and efficiency that this was dealt with, and having made a motor insurance claim many years ago - this was a DREAM in comparison.

I moan a lot, so I just felt that I should take the time to be positive when I came across great customer services.

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!

Went for a pootle on my new bike (or Wendy as she is now known) and I love her!

She is so fast and comfy and wonderful!

And she can fly! She can fly! She can fly!

I do feel like I am cheating on her a bit.

If you have a friend that's a keen cyclist nerd (i.e. like me) get them to check it over. New wheels maybe. I've crashed my lightweight alloy and carbon fixed gear a few times. Only ever bent a set of bars. Plastic forks have been fine.

The new ride is a good looking steed and it sounds like it suits you. Enjoy your bike and your cycling
