Ride and event organiser insurance 

If you organise rides, events or other activities for a group whether social, leisure, sport or work-related, your Cycling UK membership will include cover under a group policy that provides Organisers’ Liability Insurance. This is arranged on our behalf by Butterworth Spengler Insurance Brokers
