Lots of ways for cyclists to be insured; most through membership of Cycling UK or British Cycling.

Plus a whole range of private providers and I suspect some home policies.
The argument of compulsion for insurance for cycling is another matter but I think it would be much better for all to crack down on the 1 million uninsured cars on UK roads.
As soon as anyone starts moaning about uninsured cyclists that sets off my anti cycling radar as if they really cared for the issue their primary gripe should be the 1 million cars without insurance which represent a far greater risk to everyone; because someone who is willing to drive without insurance is probably likely to take other risks ...
I think you’ve misread my comments on cyclists being insured, I merely pointed out that should they be unlucky enough to suffer a serious, life changing accident, it would be prudent to have something to claim against.
As to uninsured drivers, I have zero tolerance for that as much as you, I feel.
