Bikebook partners with Bikmo to offer insurance services

Bikebook has announced a strategic partnership with consumer and commercial insurance provider Bikmo.

Through this collaboration, both companies aim to elevate the cycling experience by offering service and protection to their combined customer base with integration of insurance within Bikebook’s Workshop management system.

Ben Thompson, chief growth officer at Bikmo, said: “This partnership will empower both new and existing customers of Workshop by Bikebook to access world-class insurance coverage provided by Bikmo.

“With Bikmo’s commitment to safeguarding riders, their bikes, and the environment, coupled with Workshop’s user-friendly platform for bike servicing, repairing, and maintenance, cyclists can now enjoy a seamless and enhanced journey on two wheels.

“Bikmo’s mission is to protect all riders, their rides, and the world in which we ride and this partnership helps us take one more step towards achieving this.”

Since its inception in 2021, Bikebook has facilitated thousands of booking enquiries and established a network of more than 1,100 registered local mechanics across the UK.

With the support of Angel Investor funding, secured in 2023, Bikebook has now launched Workshop, a platform designed to streamline workshop management processes for bike mechanics.

In a strategic move to enhance Workshop’s offerings, Bikebook has now partnered with Bikmo to utilise its expertise in consumer and commercial cycle insurance.

Through this collaboration, bike repair businesses can integrate insurance offerings into the Workshop system, providing customers with added value and peace of mind.

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Bikmo, a pioneer in cycling insurance,” says Jake Fieldsend, co-founder of Bikebook.

“Together, we are looking to improve insurance services for bike repair businesses and cyclists, offering a comprehensive solution that combines Workshop’s innovative management tools with Bikmo’s tailored insurance coverage.”

This partnership not only benefits bike repair businesses by providing a new revenue stream through affiliate channels, but also enhances the overall customer experience by offering insurance directly through the Workshop platform.
