How to Secure Your Winter Ride with Gravel Bike Insurance?

What is a Gravel Bicycle?

The Pros Closet wrote a terrific article, Road Bikes vs. Gravel Bikes, that defines "Gravel bikes need to handle a wide range of surfaces, including pavement, but ultimately they have to excel on dirt and gravel. To venture off pavement, gravel bikes have substantially more tire clearance than road bikes and can fit wider gravel-specific tires that provide traction and comfort."

Bike Exchange explains in a blog, "What is a Gravel Bike?". At the same time, Ventum, a direct-to-consumer bike company located in Utah, defines their GS1 Gravel Bike as "on-road performance, with off-road durability."

The Washington Post reported in 'What gravel cycling is and why you should give it a try,' "After steady growth since 2018, gravel bike sales over the 12 months ending in February 2022 jumped 62 percent compared with February 2020." Since then, the gravel bicycle and eBike categories have led the cycling industry's sales growth.

Should Gravel Bikes be insured?

Yes! Today's gravel bicycles need a standalone bike insurance policy.

Gravel bicycles cost a lot of money, and you want to protect your investment. BikeInsure is a cost-effective, standalone, primary insurance solution for your gravel bike. In addition, the BikeInsure smart alternative provides the protection you need without compromising your homeowner's insurance.

Many insurance experts advise us to consider today's homeowner's insurance as "catastrophic loss protection." This insight is because homeowner's policies often have high deductibles, multiple claims can lead to cancellation or non-renewal, lower limits on certain individual items, and a claim can cause your premium to jump significantly. Furthermore, a gravel bicycle may have limited or no coverage by a gravel bike owner's renter or homeowner's insurance.

‍The BikeInsure plan provides reimbursement for repairs to your gravel bicycle and listed accessories due to accidental damage when riding. Coverage continues during the transit of the gravel bike and extends to a stolen gravel bicycle when optional gravel theft insurance is selected.

The BikeInsure plan provides the gravel bicycle insurance protection you need. Therefore, even though you paid thousands of dollars for a gravel bike, with BikeInsure, you may own a bicycle with ''peace of mind'' gravel bike coverage for just $16.99/mo.
