Insuring a bike without a full license

[M.C]

My sister just had a bike-jacking talk with me, I do think this is one of those situations where the fear of crime outweighs the chances of it happening *touch wood*. I've had a few ped bois eyeball me at lights (I usually stare back ) but that's it.

Never had a hint of a theft *caresses wood* despite the bike living in my back garden on a dodgy council estate, although it spends the day in an underground car park at work. If it was parked on street I'd probably be a bit more paranoid, and probably wouldn't have got a Johnny 5 Striple

Do you often caress your wood after talking to your sister?

The consideration for me goes beyond time or even the parking costs. It's that I get in ~50 minutes of recreation every day.

I learned to ride for the commute. 90 minutes each way went down to 50 on the bike. Saved me well over an hour a day and parking or train fare on top. Probably offset the DAS and bike cost over enough time.

I had secure underground parking at the office. Served me well for years. I learned to hate winter though.

I no longer commute into Mega City One so my bike is a toy. Best toy I own.

Start for practical reasons, yes, but you'll love it too.

If you're commuting daily you'll be wanting waterproofs. Good ones. 2 sets, really, one on top of the other - it runs down the tank, pools in the crotch and leaks through. Sadly familiar feeling for me, now.
