Hi, all,

I'm considering a road bike, and the ones I'm looking at are $2k+ - I'm in love with the Cannondale Synapse Carbon Feminine 3. I know I'll need to go to clipless pedals with this bike, but with the recent threads about falling while unclipping (or not unclipping, as the case may be), and crashes, and bikes that don't match their riders (stolen?), and unwary drivers and other cyclists who don't know what they're doing causing crashes on group rides, and someone who was hit by a car while taking her Madone out for the first time within a few minutes of leaving home...and Mr. Silver warned someone looking for a bike rack that carbon frames are fragile...I just wonder, with all that can happen to this very expensive bike, is there a way for me to insure it?

Is it just a personal property policy? Do I need to take photos and keep copies of the receipts for my insurance agent? Is there a special policy rider for high-end bikes?

I want to protect my investment here.

Thanks!

Roxy
