![]() ![]() You could have to pay virtually nothing and what you’ll have to pay in the event of a claim is capped, so there are no nasty surprises. Confused? I was at first.īasically, it’s community-funded insurance and you don’t pay up front you pay in the event of a claim. ![]() And if no one registers a loss? No one pays out for a claim. This means that in the event of one cyclist losing a bike, everyone pays a tiny share to replace it. Laka splits the cost of claims with its community of cyclists, riders like you and me who have chosen Laka for insurance. Naturally, theft and accidental damage are covered but it’s the way Laka operates that stands it apart from others who offer similar cover. ![]() Laka cover your bikes at home and abroad, for sportives and some races and when your bike is on or in your car. Every single one is precious to me, thanks to the amount of fun we’ve had (and still have) together. Having the bikes insured by Laka is great for my peace of mind, despite the fact I’d still be devasted to lose any of them. Due to a few reasons (mainly space) Dave and I don’t actually keep all our bikes at home but for the purpose of the video, I gathered them all together, posed for a photo then introduced them to everyone. After checking out how they operate and being satisfied that this cycle-centric company was one with which I’d choose to partner, we teamed up together to collaborate on a very appropriate video – an update of my ‘Epic Bike Collection’ video.Īs a sponsored cyclist, I have a fair few bikes to take care of and my multi-discipline fleet is my absolute pride and joy. “I always say to Dave, ‘I can’t believe what incredible luck that our daughter loves cycling,’ and he’s like, ‘Come on! That’s because of us, we’ve done that.’ And I’m like, ‘no we haven’t, we didn’t force her to ride, we didn’t force her to do anything,’ but she’s definitely influenced by everything she sees,” admits Juliet Elliott with a laugh, describing a home filled to the brim with love for cycling.Earlier this year, bicycle insurance company Laka got in touch with me to ask if I’d like to share news of their product with my viewers. She’s definitely keen on cycling too although Juliet and David have differing views on how she got there. As Anna and Juliet come from a similar background interest-wise as they both love cycling and create popular cycling-related content on social media, they had a lot to discuss including the negative side of things they’ve run into during their careers, one of the most notable being mansplaining, cycling elitism and tribalism, unequal visibility for women’s cycling, online trolls and more.Īfter outlining her career successes, jobs, hobbies, getting sponsorship deals and the overall progress she’s made, Juliet touched on her family life and how delighted and happy she is to have a husband, David, who is also a cycling enthusiast and to be a mother to an adopted little girl. Juliet’s quick-witted humour and absolute candour have already graced one of our Instagram livestreams but she shared her time on air with two other guests so we’ve decided to give her the full feature this time. Meet the first episode of the #Ride2Unite video podcast with a new host, adventurous MTB rider and TV presenter Anna Glowinski, tasked with the pleasant business of giving us a piece of mind of her first guest – the ever-entertaining Juliet Elliott who’s skilled in about every cycling discipline, from fixed gear to gravel. Our primary goal and core values still stand: keeping the cycling community active, entertained, and connected throughout the year, this time via YouTube. ![]()
