You don't say what insurance cover you want, but if you have it, you may have adequate cover on the house insurance.

I have yet to contact house insurance to see how much they will charge to cover, i want theft, accident damage as minimum cover.

Home insurance is the most effective way. Get an extension or take out an additional policy through them. I can recommend co-operative insurance if your provider doesn't play ball.

Home insurance + British Cycling membership

I think my home insurance added £100 for the year to cover three bikes inside and outside the house. Also have British Cycling Ride membership and LCC Membership goving me third party insurance cover.

As a BC Ride member I fully agree with the benefit of third party cover but don`t use normal insurance it`s a rip off. I would rather put the yearly payments in the bank and use whats there if someone steals my bike. Having said that it only works if you don`t lose a brand new bike.

It was a extra £10 a year for my focus variado 2.0 on the house insurance

With a good household policy you can have home and away cover for little or no extra premium.

The specialist companies do seem to be extremely expensive. My house contents is less than one company quoted for two bikes and a tandem!
