Got Membership, Got Bike, Get BikeInsure!
“It is no secret that the bicycle is the most expensive component of triathlon,” said Ben Pickel, Senior Director of Corporate Partnerships at USA Triathlon. “As USA Triathlon strategizes to deepen the relationship with our membership, a primary objective is to retain and support our multisport members by delivering meaningful value and transforming an athlete’s personal relationship with the sport into a lifestyle, mindset, and enduring passion. Our partnership with BikeInsure aims to reduce the financial risk of owning a triathlon bike through bike insurance. Members who enroll with BikeInsure will receive coverage for their bikes, offering them the ‘peace of mind’ that comes with knowing that they’re only a small BikeInsure deductible away from getting back on the road in case of a bike accident or theft.”
Buzzy Cohn, CEO of BikeInsure, indicated, “A bike is insured when it’s BikeInsure’d. Unlike homeowners’ insurance, which primarily covers catastrophic home losses and does not provide sufficient coverage for triathlon bikes, even with a home insurance scheduled rider, triathletes prefer BikeInsure as the better option.
We are thrilled to offer each USA Triathlon member BikeInsure at USATinsure.com. This bike insurance provides comprehensive bicycle coverage, including all expensive attached accessories and components, without affecting any other policy when filing a claim. BikeInsure it, then enjoy the triathlon ride!”
