Cornhill Direct: Insure against bike accidents

Cornhill Direct is urging cyclists to ensure they are sufficiently insured when they take to the roads on their two wheels.

Research carried out by the insurer indicates that many of Britain's cyclists are taking a number of risks when they ride their bike, with half of the 2,000 people surveyed admitting to not wearing a helmet.

Approximately half of respondents also admitted to cycling on the pavement, while a quarter of British cyclists also say they ride on pavements.

Cyclists are also at threat not just of endangering themselves but could also be victims of bike theft, with Cornhill Direct suggesting that a fifth of Britons have had their bike stolen.

Mark Bishop, spokesperson for Cornhill Direct, said: "Cycling is hugely popular in the UK and riders would be wise to make sure they have the right insurance cover."

He added: "If a cyclist were to injure someone they could face a bill of tens of thousands of pounds and if they were injured and unable to work it could cause them and their family real financial problems."

Cornhill Direct insurance policies provide cyclists with personal liability cover of individuals or property are injured, with theft or damage to a bike also being covered.

Personal accident and legal expenses cover are also comprised within Cornhill Direct insurance policies.
