The ownership and use of cycles have risen dramatically in the UK over the last few years. As we become more aware of the environmental impacts that cars have on the environment, the benefits of regular exercise and the costs of operating a car, more people are now using cycles to combat those very problems.
Using a cycle clearly creates less pollution, greenhouse gases and depletes the finite resources far less than a car. Cycling is an excellent way to exercise and causes less damage to the body than jogging for instance, whilst the maintenance costs associated with a cycle is a fraction of that of owning a car.
However many people do overlook the need for specialist cycle insurance. Cycles are relatively easy to steal and resell, they don’t have the security devices that cars benefit from and many cycle users don’t have liability cover to protect them from third party claims. There are now over 23 million cycles in the UK and only a fraction will be covered by specialist cycle insurance.
Around 60% of the cycles in the UK are used for commuting or professional work. Obviously the more you use your cycle, the more likely you are to suffer from theft, accidental damage or be involved in (or cause) a road accident. Whilst a cycle commuter may be financially able to replace their bicycle, they are less likely to be able to cover the costs of a third party claim. Cycleguard insurance provides a public liability insurance option, which covers you should you cause injury or damage to another person or their property. The cover can extend up to £5,000,000 of cover to provide a significant amount of third party liability cover.
Even if you only use your cycle at the weekends, it’s worth getting a cycle insurance quote from a specialist. Many home contents policy will not cover items like cycles if they are over a certain value or they are taken away from the home. If you take your cycles away at weekends, they may also not be covered if you transport them on a car rack – so check with your home insurer. Cycleguard insurance offer an in vehicle option which also covers your cycles whilst ‘on’ a vehicle rack (as long as you apply the necessary security requirements).

About Garmin - The Global Leader in Satellite Navigation

Garmin is the World’s leading mobile navigation device company* and a global manufacturer of in-car sat navs, portable navigation devices, handheld GPS units, and GPS products for the marine and outdoor sectors.

Garmin’s number one position was confirmed by a leading independent technology market analyst firm, Canalys:

“Garmin is again the global leader in personal navigation device (PND) sales. It increasd its worldwide market share in 2008 and this trend is continuing into 2009 according to the latest figures.

Garmin’s PND shipments grew by 42% year on year, a solid performance in a market that is now feeling the effects of slowing consumer demand. Market conditions in 2009 are undoubtedly tough, but the stronger vendors are well placed to benefit while others will struggle.”

Chris Jones, vice president and principal analyst at industry analyst firm Canalys.

This rise in market share consolidates Garmin’s position as world wide number one – showing that people across the globe chose Garmin more than any other brand to help guide them to their destinations.

Beware of the dangers of saving a few penny’s this Xmas with your mail order cycles. We have all seen these deals on our TV’s £99 Full Suspension bikes, £70 for Adults bikes or buy one get one FREE??? … Sounds attractive? Yes - If you are a fully qualified bike mechanic with resources to replace any broken parts or buckled wheels etc. If not you could always have your bike built out of the box by a bike shop for the cost off around £35 upwards hence making your cycle not so much of a super deal.

The main concern with this investigation is that these cheap bikes are poorly made and not fit for home assembly. OnYerBike however builds adults bikes and BMX Bikes out off the manufacturers box the bike is then serviced, tested and cleaned before being put into a 6ft long box enabling all parts apart from pedals to remain on the bike while we ship it mail order to the end user. When you receive the bike you know it just needs pedals fitting which is a 2 minute job!
