Our proprietary bike shop insurance program addresses the inadequacies of “off the shelf” business owners policies as they pertain to the specific (and common) exposures that bicycle retailers have.   Most BOP policies exclude coverage for Shop Rides, Bike Rental, Voluntary Property Departure.   As the business practices of bicycle retailers continue to change, so has our program.   We are able to cover sales/service of eBikes, mobile shops, beer/food sales.    Our program is endorsed by NBDA, QBP, PBMA, and LEVA.   We have 2 carriers that write these specific coverages for MMA.   We also have a product liability insurance program as well as owning Spoke Bicycle Insurance.    Personally, I am a 25 year insurance veteran, bicycle nut, and spend a lot of my free time doing advocacy work for the bicycle industry.   Lastly, I started the largest fat bike race in the world.  The Fat Bike Birkie.    Marsh & McLennan is the largest insurance broker in the world.    The regional office I report to is in Minneapolis, but live in Hayward WI, home of the American Birkebeiner, Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival, Lumberjack World Championships, Fat Bike Birkie and dozens of other amazing events....
