Access to Laka’s top-rated coverage, tailored for daily rides and official races. ??? Insurance woven into the race license process, so every rider is just a few clicks away from protection. ?? A shared commitment to safety: We’re launching joint initiatives to promote bike safety and accident prevention, empowering Dutch cyclists with the tools and knowledge they need. Daniel Heijne, KNWU’s CCO, captures it best: "Our partnership with Laka enables us to offer members the best coverage and helps foster a safer, more accessible cycling culture in the Netherlands.” Together, the KNWU and Laka are redefining cycling insurance in the Netherlands—making it accessible, reliable, and rider-focused. We’re super excited for the journey ahead, helping Dutch cyclists pursue their passion with total peace of mind.
