Can I park or store my bike in a cycle hangar?

Bikmo policies taken out from 15th March 2018 include improved cover for specific types of cycle parking, referred to as 'cycle hangars' in our policy wording. Providing the facility meets our criteria, we classify it as 'at home' meaning you can park or store your bike for as long as you need, with no time limit.

A 'cycle hangar' must meet the following criteria to qualify:

A fixed cycle parking unit which is:

• built of and roofed with metal; and
• internally fitted with racks or bars; and
• secured with a vandal-resistant lock for which only permitted cycle owners possess a key or access card.

Your bike must be locked within the 'cycle hangar' in accordance with our locking requirements. These are defined in your policy wording, and you can also read more here - Bikmo Locking Requirements

Short term parking

If you want park or store your bike in a unit that doesn't fit the above criteria, or any other definition of 'home' on our policy wording, then your bike will be classified as 'away from home'.

To remain covered whilst your bike is unattended away from home, you are required to meet our locking requirements and not leave your bike unattended for more than 24 hours.
