There's not much that excludes people better than an
unexplained acronym.

Oh. you mean a 'TLA'

Perhaps a simple explanation of the risk of cyclist-caused injury to others
vs the cost of administering such a nominal fee is worth including (albeit a
bit long-winded). It would show that charging cyclists TAC would cost more
than it's worth.

<plug> of course a BV (do other groups' membership do same?) membership gives you this coverage included </plug>

.... with a one thousand dollar excess, if I remember rightly.

One could argue that when liability can run in to the millions, a
thousand is chump change. There may be better deals around but,
speaking for myself, insurance isn't the reason I took out BV membership.

If I drove my girlfriend's car instead of riding to work, the cost in petrol
would very nearly equate to what I originally paid for my Giant OCR3. This
is not a large car either, it's a Hyundai Excel.
