Back again!
Ok - the route's coming on but I need more details on how to insure bikes in Canada. Some of you have mentioned the need to have an address in Canada that the insurance company can use. I'd like to understand a bit more about this please.
It would probably be easiest if I understood the process for buying, registering and insuring a bike step by step. In particular, I don't understand what legal status the address that I give needs to have. For example, I have a family friend in Peterborough, Ontario, who I'm sure would be happy to let me use her address. However, I don't live there - how can I register a bike at an address that I don't live at? Does she need to be the "registered keeper" (UK term - not sure what the Canadian equivalent is?) What information do I then give the insurance company, given that she doesn't have a bike license? If I end up buying a bike in Montreal, can I register it in Peterborough, for example?
I'm sorry if i'm missing something really obvious here, or if I'm making it out to be far more complicated than it is.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks
Rich
