April 15, 2025 – The Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association (SORBA) is excited to announce the selection of BikeInsure as our Official Mountain Bike Insurance provider. This partnership brings affordable, opt-in bicycle insurance to SORBA members. BikeInsure offers a bike insurance policy that protects bicycles and e-bikes against riding, transit, and theft risks.
"We are excited to partner with BikeInsure, which provides a great product at a reasonable price. One of the largest investments riders will make is their bike. Having the peace of mind that your investment is safe during transport to and from the trailhead, from bike thieves, and even when you crash while out on a ride. I believe this is a great benefit for our members, and we are excited to partner with BikeInsure to keep you riding the trails you love." - Philip Darden, Executive Director of SORBA.
Buzzy Cohn, CEO of BikeInsure, stated, "The excitement surrounding the partnership between SORBA and BikeInsure lies in our commitment to educating off-road cyclists about Mountain Bike Insurance. When a cyclist enrolls in BikeInsure for their bicycle, mountain bike, or e-bike, the coverage includes all listed accessories and components. This allows cyclists to ride with confidence, knowing they are only $100 deductible away from a solution in case of a costly, unexpected accident while riding or during transit.
Moreover, for SORBA members seeking complete 'peace of mind' in bicycle or e-bike ownership, it's important to note that 20% of all claims paid by BikeInsure have been for bike theft. Thus, having bicycle theft protection can significantly reduce concerns about the financial impact of a stolen bike. SORBA members who enroll in BikeInsure will appreciate that filing a claim will not affect other insurance policies, such as their homeowners' insurance!"
We are thrilled to offer each SORBA member BikeInsure at SORBAinsure.com. Signing up for BikeInsure is easy and takes just two minutes. So, Get BikeInsure and enjoy the mountain bike ride!
