I feel like most bike related crashes (not involving cars) are damage to the individual and not to property. Maybe to their bike, or minor damage elsewhere. If that’s the case I would imagine medical insurance would be enough. I guess there are some really fancy bikes you might want to insure but you’re right it’s prob not worth the admin cost for even a 2 or 3k bike.
Yeah, apart from medical costs, the worst a cyclist can do is maybe smash a window of a parked car. The maximum amount of property damage is maybe a few 1000. Nothing that an average person can’t pay off within a reasonable time frame.
I’m willing to bet that most cyclists crashes cost the cyclist more (i.e. to fix/replace their own bike) than the damage they caused to other things. LOL

Exactly. You don’t hear about bikes crashing through buildings and store fronts. Or knocking down road signs. Or power lines. Or bus stop shelters.

And that likely holds true even if the bike in question is the crappiest old piece of trash.
