Third Party Liability Insurance Cycling
Third party liability insurance for cyclists is a type of insurance that provides coverage for situations where a cyclist causes injury or damage to another person or their property.
Clarion Cover Third Party Liability Insurance
Clarion Cover Third Party Insurance is included as part of the National Clarion Cycling Club membership package. Guard against claims made by others for any accident caused by you while cycling.
Why it's Important
As it says on the BBC Website says Although third-party insurance is not compulsory for cycling, there is a risk – albeit a small one – of causing damage to an expensive vehicle while you are on your bike. Replacing even a wing mirror on a £50,000 Mercedes is an expensive prospect.
Why you should have Third Party insurance

Protect against someone suing you, if you caused an accident.
