I'm currently planning an overseas cycle tour and I'm having trouble finding a travel insurance company who will give complete cover of my bike for theft or in-transit damage. Most companies have coverage for several thousand dollars per item for electronics but only around $500 for any other item and so far they've been pretty unwilling to offer extra coverage for a bike. On top of this several companies explicitly exclude bicycles. Due to it's value and since my plans hinge on having my bike I'm pretty keen on making sure it is completely covered.
I've seen a fair few travel threads here over time so I'm wondering if you guys could tell me what you did for insurance? Did you just take the risk and not cover the bike?
(My specific case: 8 weeks in New Zealand, $1800 bike).
