I can't remember why that was but there's a thread somewhere.</p> <p>Am I correct in thinking that most holders of household insurance have an amount of liability cover which would help in such situations as these. That might be outdated now though as insurers look for ways to reduce their premiums.</p> <p>British Cycling also offer liability insurance as part of their membership package. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20099#post-323253 Mon, 24 Feb 2020 22:40:07 +0000 gembo 323253@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Why did the gardener not counter claim? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20099#post-323251 Mon, 24 Feb 2020 21:58:58 +0000 chdot 323251@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“the one above is missing the "the" at the start of the url”</p> <p>Sorry, copy/paste error. </p> <p>Fixed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20099#post-323249 Mon, 24 Feb 2020 21:50:28 +0000 crowriver 323249@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Probably a good idea to re-join CyclingUK/CTC then... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20099#post-323247 Mon, 24 Feb 2020 20:52:28 +0000 edinburgh87 323247@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yep, that's the one.
