Test your
Insurance IQ
Q
I own a high-end mountain
bike – will my home
insurance cover it?
IQ
Your home insurance will
cover a bicycle up to an
amount specifi ed in the policy –
often $1,000. If you need more
coverage, one option may be to add
a policy fl oater. This can have the
added benefi t of lowering the
deductible you pay if the bike is
stolen or damaged.

Cycling in Bike town, Alberta
There are plenty of places to ride
a bike in Alberta. But in Devon,
cycling is a way of life. Residents
of the town, 26 kilometres
southwest of Edmonton, are so
keen that the town has offi cially
branded itself Bike Town, Alberta.
Nearly 30 km of dedicated natural
and paved biking trails criss-cross
Devon – many running along the
scenic North Saskatchewan River.
If your mountain-biking prowess
needs a tune-up, check out
Riverview Bike Park, which
features a wooden skills track, a
pump track, dirt jumps and drop
zones for beginners and experts.
Or, come and cheer on your
wheeled brethren. This summer,
Devon hosts Grand Prix Cyclefest,
a biathlon paired with entertain-
ment and spectator activities
