We have you covered

Bicycle Queensland memberships* offer great value bike riding insurance cover. We work closely with our insurance brokers, V-Insurance Group, to design a quality insurance program, while maintaining the lowest possible cost for our members.

Our memberships* provide you with worldwide personal accident cover, income protection, and public liability insurance within Australia. You’re covered 24/7 no matter what type of bike you ride or where you ride, from trails to paths to roads, and whether you ride solo, in a group or in organised riding events (excluding races).

* Excludes BQ Supporter Memberships

Public liability insurance for e-scooter riders is also available! You can purchase this as an add-on to Individual, Concession or BQ Supporter memberships.

Personal Accidents

If you are injured in an accident riding anywhere in the world (even if it is your fault) you’re covered for non-Medicare medical expenses such as physio, private hospital fees, and dental. If you have private health insurance, you can claim your out-of-pocket expenses.

Income Protection

If you are unable to work as a result of an accident on your bike anywhere in the world, you’re covered for loss of income. Protection includes 85% of your income (up to $800/wk).

Public Liability

If you are held liable for a negligent act resulting in property damage or bodily injury to a third party within Australia, you’re covered for public liability insurance of up to a $20 million.
