im thinking about buying a bike a fair distance from home.
how would i protect myself against a potential breakdown?
when ive taken out cover in the past, if i remember right, policies wouldnt allow any claims for the first couple of weeks.

My Claassic (multi-bike) Insurance includes breakdown - I don't recall any restrictions.

Hire a van to go and collect it?

Pay a bike transport company to deliver it?
