To make it as easy as possible tounderstand our security criteria, we’ve included this handy guide and illustrations.You must still refer to the relevant theft sections for the full terms and conditions.Whenever you need to use a pedal cycle lock, it must be rated by Sold Secure.If you’re not sure what grade your lock yours is, Sold Secure’s website willtell you. The packaging on the lock typically displays the level too.For pedal cycles over £1,500, you must use a Sold Secure Gold, or Diamond rated lock.For pedal cycles £1,500 or under, you can use a Sold Secure Silver lock.We cannot accept any pedal cycle lock that isn’t rated by Sold Secure, even if a shop or website says thelock is ‘super strong’ or ‘heavy duty’.Accessory cables supplied with D-locks are not approved locks.Flexi-cable or combination locks are not approved locks.✔Secure the approved lock through the frame and bothwheels to an immovable objectTwo approved locks through each wheel andframe to an immovable object✘The D-Lock attached to the immovable object, withonly the accessory cable securing the pedal cycle.The D-lock is only securing the wheel. The framemust be secured to an immovable object.Your UltimatePolicy WordingWhen we refer to deadbolts for your house, flat, shed, garage or outbuilding, this must be a lock that canonly be locked by turning a key. We cannot accept sprung or night latches to secure any external doors.✔ Approved Deadbolt ✔ Approved Deadbolt ✘ Unapproved Latch LockSometimes sheds or outbuildings don’t have deadbolts, and that’s fine. If you usea padlock to secure the doors, this must be a closed shackled padlock, with a CEN3 rating or higher.

They’re veryconvenient but also very straightforward to gain access to by forced entry.We’ve tried to standardise and simply our approach to these types of doors.Any electric or ‘up and over’ garage door must beapproved by ‘Secured by Design’, the official policesecurity initiative. There cannot be an external overridecapable of opening the door or shutters either.If your garage door doesn’t meet this criteria, you must either use a door defender(above) or secure the pedal cycles to an immovable object through the frame withan approved lock. Any external security must also be in operation.✘ No external overrideOpenShacklePadlock✔ ✘Your UltimatePolicy WordingOther insurers may have differing views on how to value your items. You may have even had a differentcycling insurance policy in the past.We have a consistent valuation method. Our examples below might help you if you’re unsure after readingthe definitions. Please follow our approach so we can settle your claims fairly.I purchased my bike for £5,000 from a retailer in 2016 and have had no upgrades since; what’s thevalue?The value is £5,000, i.e. the price you paid for it.Remember to include any pedals or upgrades you added at the time of purchase.I purchased my bike for £2,000 from a retailer in 2018 and then spent £1,800 upgrading the wheelsand saddle in 2019; what’s the value?The valuation is the total price paid for the bike and the extra parts, i.e. you paid £2,000, and thenspent £1,800 upgrading the wheels and saddle, you should value it at £3,800.I purchased a bike worth £1,000 RRP for £600 in a sale; what’s the value?It would be best if you insured it for the RRP at the time of purchase, i.e. £1,000. The invoiceshould show the discounted price.I was gifted a bike worth RRP £3,000 in 2019; what’s the value?The value of the bike is the RRP at the time of gifting, i.e. £3,000. This also includes if you won thebike as a prize in a competition. Remember to keep proof of the prize or evidence it was gifted.I purchased an antique bike ridden by Eddy Merckx for £5,000 in 2012; what’s the value?In this instance, you insure the bike for the value that an expert has calculated. You must providephotos of the bike and a copy of the valuation letter less than three years old to verify the value.I built a bike up myself from parts. I paid a total of £4,500 for the frameset, wheelset groupset andfinishing kit from various sources; what’s the value?It would be best to insure it for £4,500 plus a little extra for the labour costs.Your UltimatePolicy WordingI purchased a bike from a friend for £750; what’s the value?If you bought a bike from your friend for £750, you should insure it for £750.Remember to keep a copy of the receipt or transfer of ownershipI bought a bike for £500 on the internet, and then purchased a brand new wheelset for £1,000;what’s the value?You should insure it for £1,500My Aunt gifted me a second-hand bike; what’s the value?If your Aunt has the receipt, e.g., she paid £450 on eBay, you should insure it for £450.If you don’t know the price she paid, you speak to our support team in advance to agree on a value.My brother gifted me a second-hand bike, and I’ve since spent £700 upgrading the groupset; what’sthe value?If you know the price paid for the bike, add that to the new parts’ price.If you’re in doubt, confirm the value with our support team.I paid £2,500 for an ex-demo / ex-display bike, but it’s worth £5,000 RRP; what’s the value?If you paid £2,500 for an ex-display bike, you should insure it for £2,500., this also includes buyingbikes sold off by race teams at the end of a season.Your UltimatePolicy Wording”“Log into your account on our website to claim online.

You may have even had a differentcycling insurance policy in the past.We have a consistent valuation method. Our examples below might help you if you’re unsure after readingthe definitions. Please follow our approach so we can settle your claims fairly.I purchased my bike for £5,000 from a retailer in 2016 and have had no upgrades since; what’s thevalue?The value is £5,000, i.e. the price you paid for it.Remember to include any pedals or upgrades you added at the time of purchase.I purchased my bike for £2,000 from a retailer in 2018 and then spent £1,800 upgrading the wheelsand saddle in 2019; what’s the value?The valuation is the total price paid for the bike and the extra parts, i.e. you paid £2,000, and thenspent £1,800 upgrading the wheels and saddle, you should value it at £3,800.I purchased a bike worth £1,000 RRP for £600 in a sale; what’s the value?It would be best if you insured it for the RRP at the time of purchase, i.e. £1,000. The invoiceshould show the discounted price.I was gifted a bike worth RRP £3,000 in 2019; what’s the value?The value of the bike is the RRP at the time of gifting, i.e. £3,000. This also includes if you won thebike as a prize in a competition. Remember to keep proof of the prize or evidence it was gifted.I purchased an antique bike ridden by Eddy Merckx for £5,000 in 2012; what’s the value?In this instance, you insure the bike for the value that an expert has calculated. You must providephotos of the bike and a copy of the valuation letter less than three years old to verify the value.I built a bike up myself from parts. I paid a total of £4,500 for the frameset, wheelset groupset andfinishing kit from various sources; what’s the value?It would be best to insured it for £4,500 plus a little extra for the labour costs.Your PerformancePolicy WordingI purchased a bike from a friend for £750; what’s the value?If you bought a bike from your friend for £750, you should insure it for £750.Remember to keep a copy of the receiptI bought a bike for £500 on the internet, and then purchased a brand new wheelset for £1,000;what’s the value?You should insure it for £1,500My Aunt gifted me a second-hand bike; what’s the value?If your Aunt has the receipt, e.g., she paid £450 on eBay, you should insure it for £450.If you don’t know the price she paid, speak to our support team in advance to agree on a value.My brother gifted me a second-hand bike, and I’ve since spent £700 upgrading the groupset; what’sthe value?If you know the price paid for the bike, add that to the new parts' price.If you’re in doubt, confirm the value with our support team.I paid £2,500 for an ex-demo / ex-display bike, but it’s worth £5,000 RRP; what’s the value?If you paid £2,500 for an ex-display bike, you should insure it for £2,500.

To make it as easy as possible tounderstand our security criteria, we’ve included this handy guide and illustrations.You must still refer to the relevant theft sections for the full terms and conditions.Whenever you need to use a pedal cycle lock, it must be rated by Sold Secure.If you’re not sure what grade your lock yours is, Sold Secure’s website willtell you. The packaging on the lock typically displays the level too.For pedal cycles over £1,500, you must use a Sold Secure Gold, or Diamond rated lock.For pedal cycles £1,500 or under, you can use a Sold Secure Silver lock.We cannot accept any pedal cycle lock that isn’t rated by Sold Secure, even if a shop or website says thelock is ‘super strong’ or ‘heavy duty’.Accessory cables supplied with D-locks are not approved locks.Flexi-cable or combination locks are not approved locks.✔Secure the approved lock through the frame and bothwheels to an immovable objectTwo approved locks through each wheel andframe to an immovable object✘The D-Lock attached to the immovable object, withonly the accessory cable securing the pedal cycle.The D-lock is only securing the wheel. The framemust be secured to an immovable object.Your EssentialsPolicy WordingWhen we refer to deadbolts for your house, flat, shed, garage or outbuilding, this must be a lock that canonly be locked by turning a key. We cannot accept sprung or night latches to secure any external doors.✔ Approved Deadbolt ✔ Approved Deadbolt ✘ Unapproved Latch LockSometimes sheds or outbuildings don’t have deadbolts, and that’s fine. If you usea padlock to secure the doors, this must be a closed shackled padlock, with a CEN3 rating or higher.

They’re veryconvenient but also very straightforward to gain access to by forced entry.We’ve tried to standardise and simply our approach to these types of doors.Any electric or ‘up and over’ garage door must beapproved by ‘Secured by Design’, the official policesecurity initiative. There cannot be an external overridecapable of opening the door or shutters either.If your garage door doesn’t meet this criteria, you must either use a door defender(above) or secure the pedal cycles to an immovable object through the frame withan approved lock. Any external security must also be in operation.✘ No external overrideOpenShacklePadlock✔ ✘Your EssentialsPolicy WordingOther insurers may have differing views on how to value your items. You may have even had a differentcycling insurance policy in the past.We have a consistent valuation method. Our examples below might help you if you’re unsure after readingthe definitions. Please follow our approach so we can settle your claims fairly.I purchased my bike for £5,000 from a retailer in 2016 and have had no upgrades since; what’s thevalue?The value is £5,000, i.e. the price you paid for it.Remember to include any pedals or upgrades you added at the time of purchase.I purchased my bike for £2,000 from a retailer in 2018 and then spent £1,800 upgrading the wheelsand saddle in 2019; what’s the value?The valuation is the total price paid for the bike and the extra parts, i.e. you paid £2,000, and thenspent £1,800 upgrading the wheels and saddle, you should value it at £3,800.I purchased a bike worth £1,000 RRP for £600 in a sale; what’s the value?It would be best if you insured it for the RRP at the time of purchase, i.e. £1,000. The invoiceshould show the discounted price.I was gifted a bike worth RRP £3,000 in 2019; what’s the value?The value of the bike is the RRP at the time of gifting, i.e. £3,000. This also includes if you won thebike as a prize in a competition. Remember to keep proof of the prize or evidence it was gifted.I purchased an antique bike ridden by Eddy Merckx for £5,000 in 2012; what’s the value?In this instance, you insure the bike for the value that an expert has calculated. You must providephotos of the bike and a copy of the valuation letter less than three years old to verify the value.I built a bike up myself from parts. I paid a total of £4,500 for the frameset, wheelset groupset andfinishing kit from various sources; what’s the value?It would be best to insured it for £4,500 plus a little extra for the labour costs.Your EssentialsPolicy WordingI purchased a bike from a friend for £750; what’s the value?If you bought a bike from your friend for £750, you should insure it for £750.Remember to keep a copy of the receiptI bought a bike for £500 on the internet, and then purchased a brand new wheelset for £1,000;what’s the value?You should insure it for £1,500My Aunt gifted me a second-hand bike; what’s the value?If your Aunt has the receipt, e.g., she paid £450 on eBay, you should insure it for £450.If you don’t know the price she paid, speak to our support team in advance to agree on a value.My brother gifted me a second-hand bike, and I’ve since spent £700 upgrading the groupset; what’sthe value?If you know the price paid for the bike, add that to the new parts' price.If you’re in doubt, confirm the value with our support team.I paid £2,500 for an ex-demo / ex-display bike, but it’s worth £5,000 RRP; what’s the value?If you paid £2,500 for an ex-display bike, you should insure it for £2,500.

Take the other set with you but keep them separate from the originals.o Make sure you have important contact numbers in your phone just in case.• Check with your GP to ensure that you have had any necessary vaccinations and/or medications.• Know your destination:o It is always worth checking out any local laws and customs before you get there.o Pack a guide book.o Check the FCDO website www.gov.uk/browse/abroad• Tell family/friends about your trip and make sure they know where you are going and how to get hold of you in an emergency.• When you are abroad:o Make sure your travel documents, passport, money and insurance documents are kept in a safe place.o Stick to safe filtered water and keep yourself well hydrated when you are out in the sun.o Always wear protective sunscreen when you are out and about, even if you are on the ski slopes! (but make sure the one you buy doesn’t contain the chemical Oxybenzone asit bleaches the sea coral).o Check out local information in your guidebook or online so that you are aware of any local holidays and nearby public medical facilities.o It is always a good idea to keep all your receipts just in case you need them for future reference.• Getting medical treatment abroado Often the best doctors, treatment and optimal care are found in the regulated state and public hospitals and medical facilities no matter where you are in the world. Theymight not always look as nice as some private facilities, but we have seen numerous good clinical outcomes which don’t come with the risk of immoral and dangerous practices,extortion, over treatment, detainment and withdrawal of treatment which we have seen happen in some private facilities all over the world.o Some medical facilities will raise charges that are far in excess of what is customary and reasonable. We will deal with such bill directly with the facility and there is no need foryou to pay them. You simply need to pass any and all correspondence about such bills to us to ensure we can provide financial protection.V1 DT ST & MT SEPT23
