Your insurance company won't cover it, but the persons who hit you will.

You will have to claim against them for the costs and repairs required.

Where your lights and number plate visible,if not the other persons insurer may refuse your claim., if all ok, make a clim against their insurance,via a bike insurance company, dont forget to claim for the ineveitable whiplash,bikes and bike rack, also hire of replacement car and bike rack and bikes.

WWW.BIKELINE.CO.UK

offer a good service and they ride bikes as well.

DOH !

Meant to add ...

Start by writing to the other insurance company as soon as possible informing them of your intent, don't wait for estimates, they can follow on later
