So you've decided to relocate - congratulations! Now you have to figure out what to do with all of your bikes. Do you just move them all or is it time to rightsize your fleet? On this edition, we take a long hard look at my situation with a cross-country move. Do I move them all or is there a better solution?

• Moving long-distance as a forcing function for downsizing

• Applying "does this still serve me?" to bikes

• When sentimental value isn't the same as utility

• Overlapping bikes and letting go of duplicates

• Keeping the most flexible, all-conditions bike

• Rethinking an e-bike that isn't quite right

• Pulling parts, donating frames, avoiding bad resale math

• The Brompton as the ultimate utility / travel bike

• Donating vs selling bikes and why effort matters

• Downsizing now to make future bike choices easier

• Escaping n+1 without abandoning future upgrades

• Letting go to make room for more intentional riding
