Why Stamford Cycling Partners With Yellow Jersey
We know what a bike means to the people who ride with us – you save up for it, look after it and you’d rather not imagine losing it.
The club calendar is only the visible part of the riding we do. There’s the Sunday Social every week, Thursday evening rides through the summer months and our annual 100-mile fundraiser. Then there are all the solo spins, commutes and training miles that never make it onto our ride log. Bikes round here get properly used and properly used bikes get knocked, dropped, crashed and sadly, sometimes nicked.
That’s why we wanted an insurance partner that understands cycling specifically, rather than treating a bike as just another item on a household contents list. Yellow Jersey build their cover around how cyclists actually ride: commuting, training, club runs, events and trips abroad. Not like a bolt-on to a general household policy, which is why we chose to partner with them.
To be clear about our role: we can tell you why we chose to work with Yellow Jersey. We can’t tell you which policy is right for you. That’s a conversation for Yellow Jersey’s team once you’ve got a quote open. More on that below.
What Yellow Jersey Cycle Insurance Covers
Yellow Jersey’s road bike policies are built specifically for club riders and road cyclists, with cover ranging from UK-only up to worldwide depending on the tier you choose. Based on their own product information, that includes:
- Theft and accidental damage – cover for your bike whether it’s stolen or damaged in a crash, riding or training
- Cover away from the UK. This depends on your tier, from UK-only on Essentials to worldwide on Ultimate. See the breakdown below.
- Third-party liability and legal expenses – cover for you as the rider, not just the bike itself
Worth knowing before you park up at the cafĂ©: theft cover generally depends on your bike being locked with a lock that meets the insurer’s requirements and to an immovable object.. Check what your policy asks for before you leave the bike outside Fika with a flat white in hand.
Important: Home contents insurance can fall short on several of these specifically – worth reading on if you’re not sure whether you actually need a dedicated policy.
Different Tiers of Cover
Yellow Jersey’s website always contains the most up to date information about the different levels of cover available. At the time of writing this blog post, three tiers were available:
- Essentials – built for leisure riding, commuting and daily errands. Covers theft, vandalism and accidental damage in the UK, with a 60% multi-bike discount for insuring more than one bike.
- Performance – aimed at club riders and sportive regulars. Adds cover in Europe for up to 30 days, plus sportives and charity events, on top of everything in Essentials.
- Ultimate – for anyone racing regularly, whether on the road, cyclo-cross, MTB or triathlon. Adds worldwide cover, race-day crash damage, transition-area cover and bike box protection.
Multi-Bike, Family and Renewal Discounts
If your garage looks anything like most of ours, there’s more than one bike in it. Yellow Jersey’s own discounts stack alongside our Stamford Cycling code:
- 60% off additional bikes. You pay the full premium on your most expensive bike and get 60% off each additional one on the policy.
- Family cover available under a single policy.
- 25% renewal discount, even if you’ve made a claim.
Does Your Home Insurance Actually Cover Your Bike?
It’s a fair question before taking out a separate policy at all. Some home contents policies do include a degree of bike cover – but it can be than people assume and worth understanding before you rely on it:
- Cover is often tied to where the bike lives. Some policies only protect a bike while it’s at home, and a higher-value bike may need to be declared individually to be covered for its full worth.
- Away-from-home cover is often an optional add-on. A theft from a cafĂ© stop or an event car park may not be included unless you’ve paid extra.
- Damage while riding is commonly excluded. Home policies are designed to protect possessions in your house, not kit that’s regularly ridden, transported and taken to events.
- Sportives and races usually aren’t covered, even with away-from-home cover added.
None of this is a verdict on what you personally need – that depends on your bike, your policy and how you ride. Some households prefer to keep everything under a single home policy and that’s a perfectly reasonable route.
