Of course Ride for Isabel has event insurance that covers a range of things such as public liability as part of the ride but there is no cover for riders for injury or damage to bicycles.

While we pride ourselves on conducting a well organised and safe ride, there is always risk involved when riding a bicycle. Therefore, we’d like you to take a moment to consider personal insurance and bicycle insurance.

Aus Cycling has various levels of membership with corresponding personal insurance and liability cover available, which will cover you during training rides and racing.

To become a member of Aus Cycling, follow this link: https://www.auscycling.org.au/membership/lifestyle

You can nominate Cardiac Cyclists Inc. if you wish and have no affiliation with a particular club as it helps fund some training etc. for our pack leaders.

Other organisations such as Bicycle Queensland also offer riders insurance that offer include third-party property damage and personal accident insurance.

As with any insurance, peruse the various policies and find the one that suits your needs. 

In any case, your bicycle is typically not covered by these insurances. If you have a valuable bike, it is recommended you explore options to insure it. This can be done through specialist bicycle insurance companies, Aus Cycling (as an add-on to your membership) or in some instances, through your home contents insurance.

Note:  we are not insurers, financial advisers or the like, and the above should therefore not be taken as professional advice, but purely as a recommendation to consider insurance and investigate and decide on what you feel is right for your individual situation.
