In my current job I don't need to use the bike to commute on as its only down the road, so excluded commuting from my policy, however I am now just about to change jobs and will need to use the bike do get to work...

so would you:

A) change policy
B) leave it as it is and wait for the renewal.

If I kept it as it is what would happen if I was on my way to work and had an accident?

I'd keep it as it is. If you have a crash on the way to work how are they going to prove that's where you were going?

They could check with your place of work. They have with me when I was in a bump in the car.

IMO not worth the risk of not telling them and hoping for the best.

Shouldnt cost a great deal more to include commuting. Personally i'd declare it.

I think commuting put my premium up £20, not worth the risk for such a small amount.

Well if your commute is at normal peak time then, thats a bit of a give away.
