This episode is brought to you by Bickmo Cycle Insurance. Yes, the people who make sure your very

expensive hobby doesn't leave you financially ruined. Let's face it, your bike's probably worth

more than your sofa, maybe more than your actual car. And if it gets stolen, crashed or

accidentally reversed over, the phrase, don't worry, it's only money, doesn't really help. That's why

there's BICMO. BICMO cycle insurance

protects road bikes and their overly attached owners against theft, accidental damage, race day

busts and even mishaps in baggage claim. Your helmet, GPS and other gear are covered too.

Own more than one bike, of course you do. 50% off each additional one on the same

policy. Covered, replaced back riding. And because you're clearly a person of taste, you're listening

to this podcast after all, Bickmo has a little something extra for you. Take out a policy now

and you'll get a free limited edition Never Strays Far T-shirt.

Ideal for post-ride lounging,

pre-ride faffing or just looking smug at the cafe.

Head to bickmo.com, that's b-K-m-o.com

and use the code NSF-25 to get covered

and claim your free T.
