Peter Garver of Ohio City would be a good person to ask about the LAB insurance. I do know the LAB is going through some organizational changes.
In Salt Lake City, as a 501(c)(3), we joined our local non-profit association (
http://www.utahnonprofits.org/
) and they had a recommended insurance company that dealt with non-profits (http://www.beehiveinsurance.com/
). Our yearly rate is around $1,500.
If I were you (and assuming you are a non-profit) I would contact the National Council of Non-Profits (
http://www.ncna.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=Page.viewPage&pageId=149
) and see what they would recommend. Otherwise you could contact Beehive Insurance and ask who their underwriters are. All insurance companies have their own insurance company called an underwriter. And chances are that underwriter might insure a company local to you.

the League of American Bicyclists, as recommended in the wiki and was
told that they only offer insurance for club rides, not for
organizations. We aren't interested in doing rides or races or
anything like that, we basically just need insurance for the shop. (I
think i've seen $1M in liability recommended on the list). Am I being
fed a line by Am Specialty? I emailed LAB directly and have not
received a reply in two weeks, nor do I see a phone number telling me
it wouldn't be very good insurance if I can't even get a hold of them.
Did I read all this wrong? What am I missing? If i'm not missing
anything where do you shops go to get the liability coverage? Thanks,
Andrew
