The Cycle To Work scheme saw a dramatic rise in the sale of Bicycles in Ireland. With increased bicycle sales, the numbers of insurance claims relating to stolen or damaged bicycles have grown and as mid-range bicycles now retail from upwards of €500 the extent of financial loss due to theft or damage to a bicycle can also considerably more than it might have been previously.
Technology has improved significantly over the years with innovations such as hydraulically operated disc brakes, front & rear adjustable suspension and the use of high strength, low weight materials such as aluminium and carbon fibre frames all improving bicycle functionality. These items require detailed assessment from a specialised bicycle expert when stolen or following accident damage.
