Cycling
without Public Liability cover is as silly as driving without 3rd Party
property cover. Join Bicycle NSW or Bike Vic for P.L. insurance, or upgrade your household policy to
include P.L. beyond your front fence, so that all Muggs are better protected,
'cause if you cause a serious accident it could cost you upwards of $1m in P.L.
