You don’t see a ‘broom wagon’ following the Tour de France these days, but there was a time when the famous road race wasn’t complete without an old Citroën ‘camion balai’ trailing the peloton to offer words of encouragement, or a ride home, to stragglers unable to make it to the finish.
The Tour de France broom wagons of old carried an actual broom fixed to their bodywork (except in the years the event was sponsored by a vacuum-cleaner company).
Think of ETA cycle insurance as your own personal broom wagon. We were the first provider of Cycle Rescue breakdown cover for bikes, and our policy includes a host of other benefits.
ETA Cycle Insurance protects against theft, accidental damage and vandalism when training for, or competing in, races, sportives and other mass-participation, non-professional events.
During triathlon events, the insurance covers your bike in the transition zone (as long as the area is being supervised by a marshal). Equipment and accessories, including cycle computers, shoes and helmets, are also covered as standard up to £1,000.*
One true test of a bicycle insurance provider is what happens when you make a claim. Unlike others, we don’t farm the process out to a third party like other providers; Your claim is dealt with by one of us here and you’re always welcome to call us directly.
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.
