Sorry to hear about that. Must have been very scary to be confronted like that. As much as he may not want to I'd suggest buying a cheap bike, maybe second hand as his bike will be less appealing then. I'm sure he could upgrade certain aspects of the bike whilst keepng the bike looking "cheap". Also to have so many thefts…

Private medical insurance
As I'm self employed, I feel I need this cover (no work = no pay so time off is very expensive). Tried Moneysupermarket.

Insurance
I've just asked several brokers to give me a quote for insurance. Two refused me (for different reasons, and in fact, when I checked, Broker B said that Broker A's reason was no problem, but there was now a different reason for refusal), and the third accepted me.
