The ethical choice
The ETA was established in 1990 as an ethical provider of green, reliable travel services. Over 30 years on, we continue to offer cycle insurance , breakdown cover and mobility scooter insurance while putting concern for the environment at the heart of all we do.
The Good Shopping Guide judges us to be the UK’s most ethical provider.

“Whilst riding at night, bikes must be fitted with front and rear lights.”
You have the answer to this as “true”.
It isn’t. I can ride to my heart’s content on – say – singletrack (or even dedicated cycleways, lit or not) – without front and rear lights. It’s ONLY true on roads.
