Has anyone come across anywhere that will insure a bicycle if it is kept in a bike locker away from home?
I have a bike locker at my local park and ride as they encourage a park and cycle scheme. However I cannot find anyone who will insure my bike when it is there overnight, they say it is not something they come across!
Any ideas?

Try asking a broker to come up with a premium for you?

The all risks cover with ctc (butterworths I think) is 10% of the value of the bike so I'm guessing they'll expect you to pay more. That is, given the "must be locked up, in doors, over night" condition on the butterworths policy.
