We’ve got you covered

For 2021, all active RCC members will receive basic personal accident cover as standard. No other club of our kind in the world offers this perk as standard. Whether you’re on a group ride from the Clubhouse, on your regular weekend route or discovering new roads, the RCC has you covered.

RCC Rider Insurance

Now included with your Rapha Cycling Club membership is rider insurance to help get you back on your bike in the event of a crash or serious mechanical failure. This covers you whenever you’re on your bike, and not just on an RCC ride. You’re covered for the whole of 2021, from January 1st to December 31st, provided your membership is still active.

Making a claim is simple, handled by our insurance partners Yellow Jersey.
