If you're the type of person who transports your precious bike on the roof of your car, you probably live in constant fear of that one day when you forget it's there and end up in a situation where your car and bike just don’t fit. And when that happens, the bike is always the one that loses.
You’ve had a great ride, you’re feeling good, and the idea of coming home, relaxing, and watching TV sounds perfect. But as you pull up to the house, hit the garage door opener, and start driving in, a loud crunching noise cuts through the calm—nope! Your bike is still on the roof rack, and you just smashed into the garage door. “Oh no!†you think, followed by a string of expletives.
As the shock sets in, you sit there, frozen, realizing that your peaceful afternoon has just turned into a disaster. The carbon frame that once made your ride smooth is now crumpled, and your plans for relaxation are gone.
So, how can you avoid this nightmare from ever happening again?
One simple solution is to place an object in front of the garage door. This forces you to step out of the car and check if your bike is still on the roof. However, this method isn't foolproof—it relies on you remembering to put it there and hoping no well-meaning neighbor or family member moves it.
Another effective trick is to hang bright pieces of tape from the bottom of the garage door. When the door opens, the tape serves as a visual reminder: “STOP, your bike is on top.†Combined with placing the garage door opener on the passenger side floor or seat, this could significantly reduce the chances of another accident.
But even with these precautions, things can still go wrong. That’s where Velosurance comes in. No matter how brief your moment of distraction, a Velosurance bicycle insurance policy covers you. So don’t wait—get a free, instant quote today and protect what matters most.
