Bike insurance for European trip
I'm taking a bike on a plane for the first time next month. It'll be properly boxed, and isn't my best best bike, but I'd like some kind of insurance policy that covers it against being lost/destroyed by baggage handlers or on a French train/bus as well as just general theft/crashing/whatever.
Specialist bike insurance seems to be only an annual policy, and mostly limited to the UK anyway. Travel insurance seems to have a single-item maximum of £300. A like-for-like replacement would be £1500 or so.
Am I being particularly dim in my googling? Are there any policies anyone would recommend?

Some Highways Authorities insist on over engineered designs, and that might have happened here. They should be following Local Transport Note 1/20.

(I haven't used their travel insurance, so I don't know if it's any good)
Thanks - appreciate the response.
