Can anyone recommend good cycle insurance (theft only) in UK. Also can anyone recommend a good cycle lock?

If you have an expensive bike, 拢1500 plus, then most household insurance policies wont cover it.

Try Cycleguard (i have used them for past 2 yrs) for bike specific insurance. They have a approved lock list on their website.
It is important to get a good lock (one the insurance company approves for your bike) and lock it to a solid object, otherwise they will refuse to pay out if the bike is stolen.
Don't worry too much about the lock - just make sure you secure it to something immovable. Anyone taking a fancy to your bike will take it, lock and all. They can get the lock off in their own time, so don't spend a fortune on it.

As for insurance - I believe they are covered under most home contents policies, so check there before you shell out on an unnecessary extra expense.

Happy trails!
check out the LCC web site for insurance premiums and guides as to what type of locks you should use. I use a kryptonite D shackle for the frame and a extention cable to lock my wheels (use the D to secure to a solid object).
