    Thank you so much your video set my mind at ease. I too have Velosurance, after a bad wreck that totaled my bike I needed to put in a claim. Still waiting to see how they are going to help me out.

    Thanks for this! If you are able, it would be cool to hear about how to deal with an auto insurance company when you have been struck by a vehicle while riding your bike (specifically the damage to the bike, and how to make sure the company values it correctly, does not depreciate, etc.)

      This is a great idea! Having been hit twice, once minor and once major, I have a bit of experience in the matter!

    I watched this video this evening and I do have some questions for you regarding Velosurance. What would be the best way for us to speak one on one? I recently bought another high end bike and would like some guidance.

      Were you able to get an answer about this? I'm looking to insure my bike and in the same situation. Thanks!

      You can but you need to get it registered somewhere and they provide the link to their website. In my case, i had the receipts for both my bikes which were recently bought so i didnt have to go through extra steps. You need to know the serial numbers however and send them bike pictures including the serial number picture and this helps your claims to be processed fairly easily.

    LOL. Bike insurance is almost impossible. God help you over eBikes. Cost from the specialty insurers is as he says, on par with a motorcycle.
    Fortunately bike accidents and theft never happens.

    I own 4 bicycles. 2are regular bikes. The other 2 are e-bikes. I am looking for insurance for my 2 e-bikes. I found a company called Sunday Insurance. This is my first time trying to get insurance on my bicycles. I called Sunday Insurance. They have a office in Delaware. I would have to pay $16.00 per month for my 2 e-bikes. The reason that i want insurance for my e-bikes. I am not allowed to keep in my apartment. Due to too many fires, caused by those cheap ones in the market. I have been keeping my e-bikes chained up. At the back of the building,

    There are lower income people who have the right to cheap bicycle transportation . They can't afford insurance. It shouldn't be mandatory.

      Bike insurance isn't mandatory.🤦🏽‍♂️ You invest in it if you can afford it, and if it is worth it to YOU. It's not like car insurance.
