History

Established in 2009.

In March 2008, I was riding back from the loop and was doored by a taxi driver. I was thrown straight into traffic, landing in front of my bike. Fortunately, the light at the intersection had just turned red, so the cars were slowing down. I was mostly spared, but my bike was not. I went to the emergency department to be checked, where they did an MRI, and fortunately I only had deep bruises.

While the driver was liable, it took me months of anguish with his insurance company to finally get paid anything to cover my bills or replace my bike.

I realized that this situation was terrible, and bikers go through it constantly. There are unfortunate stories all the time about bikers getting hit by a car, suffering injury, and spending time in the hospital, and missing work. Accident insurance is a must need in response for anyone who bikes in the city. Once you see how it works, I know you will agree.
