Why consider public liability insurance?

When we think about cycling accidents, much of our focus and attention is understandably on ourselves and our bikes. But of course, we’re not the only ones at risk on the road. Even if you consider yourself a careful cyclist, there’s always the risk of having an accident.

What if you were to hit someone with your bike and be deemed responsible for their injury or bike damage? You could face a massive bill for damages that you might not be able to afford from your own pocket.

That’s where Public Liability Insurance can help cyclists. Third Party Liability can cover you for cycling incidents that result in damage to third party property or injury to another person. That way, you can have peace of mind whenever you’re out and about on your bike.
