With your Cyclescheme eCertificate you can purchase clothing and accessories as well as a new bike.

Bikmo, our official cycle insurance provider, has outlined some essential gear you may need when it comes to commuting, and why it’s important to look after it. 

You may be surprised to find out that you might actually be wearing or carrying more value in clothing, kit and accessories than your actual bike.... 

If you’re already an avid commuter, you won’t be surprised at the clothing and accessories costs below, but if you’re new to commuting, it might come as a surprise to see that even just some essentials can come to nearly £500, and that doesn’t even include your bike!

Bikmo cycle insurance 

It’s clear that cycling can become quite an investment, and it’s natural that you’d be pretty put out if you bought all the kit, only to ruin it in an accident or have it stolen. It’s no surprise that 45% of Bikmo’s claims* include clothing and accessories.  

Make sure that you’re protected should the worst happen - especially if your bike, clothing and accessories come to £1,000+.
