We have a homeowners policy with Zurich. There is no limit on the number of bicycles and each each one is covered up to $1500. I inquired about the rider and it is $11.00 per $100.00
11% per year - thanks but no thanks. Last year we changed our insurance company in large part because of the bicycle issue. There may be better deals o but we were not able to find one that fit our needs. Hope this helps.
