Thu, 07 May 2009

AA Insurance is urging cyclists to find out if their bike is covered under their home insurance as Tory leader David Cameron sees his second theft in ten months.

The home insurance provider has said that the theft, which happened close to Mr Cameron's house in west London, could indicate a wave of bicycle crime over the summer.
