BackPedal

The only bike cover that goes out and gets your actual bike back.

“BackPedal, as featured on BBC One, does something no other bike insurer does: it gets your actual bike back. A covert tracker is professionally fitted to your bike, and if it is stolen you make one call. BackPedal’s own 24/7 team tracks it down and sends recovery agents out to retrieve it.

“Recovery comes with no exclusions. It makes no difference whether you locked up, where the bike was parked, or whether it was taken while you were riding. Over 1,000 bikes recovered so far, at a 79.7% recovery rate, typically back within 48 hours. Where a bike cannot be recovered, a claims-based payout applies, underwritten by Sundays Insurance.

Tracker, fitting, recovery and cover come as one subscription. Installations currently run across London zones 1 to 4.”
