I wanted to follow up now that we have finished our move and settled in, just in case somebody is thinking about moving with bikes.
Overall the process and move went well for us. The bikes are in perfect condition.
Here is the process we did:
1- my company was going to pay for the whole move so this might be a bit overkill since it cost me practically nothing.
2- contacted the insurance company for the move and provided them with a high value declaration for each bike since they were above $5k.
3- they sent a third party company specializing on wood crates to measure the bikes. They were task with creating 2 crates.
4- made a detailed video of the condition of the bike (just in case). bought pool noodles and cut them to size. Disassembled wheels, handlebars and pedals.
5- everything go packaged in pool noodles and furniture mats and then in a dedicated, made to size crate. Bike and wheels.
Everything went according to plan.
