So riding into work now, and realised that if i hit a car I have no finacial protection.

I remember reading her about joining some UK cycling body which automatically covers you?

Anyone help

Many thanks

Dave

You want British Cycling's "Everyday Cycling" membership package.

Cheaper than CTC with at least equivalent insurance cover. Plus you get extra discount at Wiggle. ๐Ÿ™‚

Nonk - used the legal claims line when a car didn't see me. Ended up in an ambulance... They sorted it out. Also had someone try to claim i had thier wing mirror off. In the end they went away and i didn't need the ctc's help. Was good to know it was there though if needed!
