Not so much with a bicycle. The laws about recreational insurance generally revolve around motor vehicles. This means that you don&#8217;t need insurance, legally speaking, for a kayak, a skateboard,&nbsp;canoe, or anything else powered by your arms and legs, and that includes a bicycle. The question of whether to insure your bicycle comes down to a personal choice rather than a legal obligation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But It&#8217;s Not a Bad Idea<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All it takes to steal a bicycle is a pair of bolt cutters. You can take the front wheel inside with you when you stop at the country store on your weekend ride, but that&#8217;s not going to stop someone from throwing it into the back of their truck and replacing the wheel sometime later. If you&#8217;re just using a cheap old bike you picked up from a thrift store to get around, then insuring it might be more trouble than it&#8217;s worth. If you&#8217;re a serious cyclist, there&#8217;s no reason not to consider getting a policy on your bike. Some sellers and manufacturers offer warranties, but these are limited in a number of ways, and typically run out in a few years.<\/p>\n<p>The question simply comes down to the extent to which you care about your bicycle. If you&#8217;re serious about cycling, then there&#8217;s no reason not to call Town &amp; Country Insurance and see what kind of bicycle&nbsp;coverage you can get in Buford, GA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re considering calling Town &amp; Country Insurance in Buford, GA to get your bicycle covered, here&#8217;s what you need to know: It&#8217;s Not&nbsp;Legally&nbsp;a Requisite If you own a motorboat, a jet ski, or a dune buggy, you are required by law in Georgia to get it insured.
