Hello, I am a newbie but I believe it is the right section of the forum to post this question.
I wonder if anyone has insured his bike with a stand-alone policy? I have 2 bikes , a road bike ( Cervelo R3 ) and a mountain bike ( Giant Anthem X29 ). Both bikes are relatevely new and I am afraid they might be stolen since bike theft rate is high in my neighborhood. I am currently keeping them in my backyard chained to a fence. But the backyard is very easy to get into.  I have a renters insurance policy and I am going to call them with a couple of questions I got about the coverage.

But are there stand-alone bike insurance policies available on the market, that will cover my bike no matter where it is and no matter what happens to it?

I've got Insurance through Markel.   If you're a member of USA Cycling you get a slight discount too.

I race so I got it in case a crash is bad enough to ruin my bike.
