Worth it? Has anyone had experience with it- good or bad? Trying to decided if I should get it to cover my bike. Figure I wouldn't have to worry about 1- crashing 2- the "stress" a trainer puts on the bike.

I put Velosurance on my new road bike for a year but probably won't continue it.  The price percentage-wise versus the value of your bike is pretty hefty, and unless you care about ALL the things their policy covers, it's not really worth it as your bike starts to depreciate.

For example, I don't take that bike on a plane to races, no need for their coverage of that kind of damage.  And I only store it at home, where my homeowners policy covers theft.  So I don't need that either.  But they don't offer ala-carte insurance options so you end up paying for more than what you really need.

The triathlon bike vs. road bike quandary. Before you even ask the road bike vs. tri bike question, you should have a couple sprint triathlons or duathlons under your belt.
