Is it worth relocating household goods from Bangkok to Geneva, and what are the best transport options?

Stéfan ********

If the bikes are high quality, ie: 1k$ and above, then yes. If they're just worth $2-300, each, it won't be worth the trouble. Note that the bike market is much larger in Europe than in south east Asia... This means more choice and better overall value.
