    Registering and insuring cycles is a ridiculous idea

    Why? a few guys I work with have cycle cover - I don't think it is a bad idea at all - or do you mean compulsory cover?

    He was insured but only if he caused the accident :-(

    Who is he insured with?

    British Cycling will provide legal support to pursue a claim. I think they may also take you on and provide the cover after an accident. There was a requirement to take a long-term membership though. I think it was 5 years.

    It would be worth phoning them to check.

    Are you going to offer to pay?

    If it was me, ignoring personal injury, it would be north of £2,000.

    OP - as already stated, if your hubby is already insured then you normally get legal cover with it, that would be my first port of call.
