David Cameron has bicycle stolen, again

Conservative party leader and avid cyclist, David Cameron, has had his bicycle stolen for the second time in ten months.

The most recent theft took place from outside Mr Cameron’s London home, where the Scott bicycle was locked to railings.

A spokesperson for the Environmental Transport Association (ETA) said: “The general advice is to spend ten per cent of a bicycle’s value on a stout lock, but even this will not stop a determined thief so it’s vital to be properly insured.”

Cycle insurance is vital

As David Cameron has found to his cost, bikes are particularly vulnerable to theft. Furthermore, in the case of an accident cyclists may need to seek compensation or even deal with a claim by someone else. Cycle insurance from the ETA is fully comprehensive.

At no extra cost, it includes new-for-old replacement, cover for accidental damage, third party insurance, personal accident cover and if you breakdown, a van comes out to recover you and your bike.
