I'm looking for public liability insurance as a cycle mechanic, been looking all over the web and found very little, a broker has been looking into it for 3 days and found only a £300 quote for something else . Maybe I'm missing the obvious, I did scan the other threads.

this is tricky, be good to see if there is an industry standard?

I would join ACT perhaps and use their member benefits, or phone Hiscocks who provide to their members (at a preferential rate I suspect).

Looking to do some free bike doctor stuff in the community and at work. I’m qualified, but struggling to find much relevant online, it all seems targeted at businesses. Anyone got any experience with this?

Not specifically but from my experience of having liability insurance, the insurers probably aren't going to care that it's voluntary. The majority of their business will be businesses and so, that's how they'll deal with you.

Thanks. Yes most companies are only quoting for businesses. Anyone else have any experience with getting insured for free bike doctoring?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
