You'll probably have difficulty finding someone who will provide the level of cover you require, or if you do (and I suppose everyone will insure you at a price) the premiums will probably be sky high. I am both self employed and employed (I own 2 businesses and I'm employed by an organisation as a sideline interest). I have insurance to cover me for my self employed work (and it ain't cheap!!), but it doesn't cover mountain biking. It's one of the main reasons why I try not to do anything too risky. I'm sure that it's only a matter of time until I come a cropper, though........
It's probably more about [b]affordable[/b] cover rather than just having cover, I suspect.

yes. i run a financail services co. and we've found 1 provider of income protection plans tht doesnt care about sports (excepting 1 or 2 really extreme), nor what job you do - so no ratings on occupation. they are very much the exception.

pm me if you want a quote and i'll get one sorted,

Would British Cycling membership be of any use to you?

Yeah british cycling gets my vote, around 60 pound a year for maybe not the best accident coverage but its a good start. Only bike related accidents though i believe.

I am a self employed race mechanic and struggle finding insurance that covers me at the circuit. I used to use Combined Insurance of America. Found them very good, when I broke my wrist playing football a few years ago they paid out from day one. Now Im back racing I will soon be using them again.
