The partnership is a nod to the significant number of rowers who also indulge in cycling and, consequently, seek comprehensive protection while navigating on two wheels. The news also follows on from earlier Bikmo’s announcement of a five-year partnership extension with British Cycling that sees them continue to receive discounted cycle insurance to their members.
According to reports, the new partnership also extends benefits to British Rowing members, including exclusive discounts on cycle insurance and a generous 14-day coverage grace period for newly acquired bicycles.
Sian Keen, Head of Partnerships UK+IE at Bikmo said, “We’re really excited to be partnering with British Rowing. We know many British Rowing members use their bikes for getting to and from their boat houses, to coach crews and for additional training to complement their sport. We look forward to protecting their members to keep them riding.”
Marieke Hagemans, British Rowing’s Director of Membership & Rowing Community, highlights the close tie between rowing and cycling within the community. She said: “We know many members in the rowing community cycle regularly and we are very pleased to offer this new benefit to our membership base. We are always looking to add more value for members and Rowers use bikes for training and commuting, while coaches cycle alongside the river for coaching sessions.”
She added: “Our partnership with Bikmo brings essential bike insurance from trusted partners of British Cycling, Brompton, and Deliveroo, adding significant value to our members at a discounted rate.”
