THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM THE ETA

Many motorcyclists enjoy cycling too, but how safe are they?

With the popularity of cycling at an all time peak (15% increase in the last two years nationally and 50% increase in London since 2000), the ETA offers the perfect gift for cyclists this Christmas. Britain’s ethical and only carbon neutral driving organisation, The Environmental Transport Association, has a comprehensive cycle insurance package that offers excellent cover, from just £38.50, which includes cover for theft, accidental damage and vandalism, with new for old replacement, and up to 40% no claims discount.

Higher parking costs across the nation and the extension of the congestion charge in London is expected to lead to huge sales of bikes this Christmas. “Cycling is more than just fashionable, it’s cheap, fast, healthy and green. Regular cyclists experience a huge benefit in fitness, and it’s much quicker to cycle on Britain’s roads these days, particularly on short journeys” says Andrew Davis, Director of the ETA. “Our Cycle insurance is the ultimate bike accessory, giving bike riders the same sort of benefits and security as car drivers. “

The package includes the ETA’s unique free cycle rescue cover, ideal for people who go on cycling holidays, and for parents of older independent teenage children, who want the security of knowing that they can get home safely after an accident, or in the event of theft, vandalism or irreparable breakdown of the cycle. The rescue package ensures that customers unable to complete a journey on their bikes, when more than a mile away from home, are taken to a railway station, cycle repair shop or home.

The service covers all postcodes and includes 90 days European cover. See www.eta.co.uk/cycle for more information.
