Our Best Adventure Travel Insurance Plans For Cycling
Why Cycling Insurance?
Play Safer. Play Smarter.
Cycling has reached a resurgence in popularity in recent years as both a mode of transportation and a leisurely sport. One reason is that it may be the healthiest way to take a scenic tour on a vacation or as a recreational activity near home. Cycling is a low-impact form of exercise that builds muscle, helps with weight loss and strengthens your immune system. A person’s mental well-being also benefits from cycling, as it reduces stress, boosts brain health and improves sleep.
Bikers often say they get bored on familiar routes, which makes the ride feel stagnant. Finding new routes is important to keeping the cycling adventure alive. There are great cycling routes all over the world. Some of the most popular routes are:
- Otago Peninsula, New Zealand – great ocean views
- County Clare, Ireland – through towns and beaches
- San Juan Islands, WA, U.S. – island, Pacific sea life
- La Farola, Cuba – spectacular views of sea and cliffs

Sarah loves to see the world while cycling and her favorite cycling vacations have been in Europe and New Zealand. She’s an experienced cyclist who stays alert to the potential dangers of the sport and rides carefully. Sarah researched cycling before she took it up and learned that nearly two thirds of the cyclists killed or seriously injured where involved in collisions near a road junction, such as a T-junction or roundabout. She also learned that most cycling accidents are caused by human error (71% in 2016). According to police reports, the most common cause is the driver or rider failing to look properly. Many accidents are also caused by potholes, a parked car opening its door, and filtering through lanes of slow traffic.
That’s why Sarah came to Good Neighbor – to protect herself in the event of a cycling accident. Cycling insurance plans can help you in the event of an accident while cycling with comprehensive medical, evacuation and sports equipment coverage.
Sarah vacationed with a friend in New Zealand several years ago and both of them were injured by a driver who pulled out in front of them. While Sarah’s medical treatment was covered by her cycling insurance plan, her friend hadn’t purchased cycling insurance and was unable to pay the cost of her medical care.
Sarah’s biking accident didn’t ruin her vacation or put her in debt. In fact, it put her in a position to help her friend. Be like Sarah and protect yourself with a cycling insurance plan today. Get started by selecting one of the featured plans below or by getting a quote now.
