Dave here, I am one of the founders of Velosurance and I held back while this thread unfolded (I too would like to see the pics). The most common suggestion is that the bike "might" be covered "somehow" by a home or auto policy. In most instances it isn't, and why live with that uncertainty. Velosurance exists because of the poor job home and renters insurance does on bike claims. After 15 years of general insurance (and many unhappy cycling clients) we founded Velosurance to fix that problem. Our policy covers the bicycle for any type of accident (including theft), at any time, any where in the US and Canada (world wide if requested). If my post comes off as a shameless self promotion please call my direct line @ 954-773-9099 so I can apologize to you personally.
