Consulting in depth before making decisions on insurance requirements will also mean that any potential requirements do not act as a disproportionate barrier to the use of shared bikes or have negative repercussions for cycling more generally. That is why we plan to include detailed engagement on insurance requirements as part of our planned public consultation to inform secondary legislation, which will then be subsequently scrutinised by the House. This will ensure a cohesive licensing regime that ensures all schemes are safe and operable and strikes the right balance of responsibility and accountability for operators and users.
