I have heard great things about biking in Sweden and Denmark but I do not personally know anyone who has done it. Therefore, I went to the bookstore, looked through the books on Scandinavia and selected Scandinavian Europe by Lonely Planet ($24.99, ISBN: 978-1-74104-553-6).
Here are a couple quotes from the book that are making me more excited then ever about biking in Sweden and Norway.
"Being so flat and lovely, Skane is popular with cyclists; there are numerous attractions in the gently rolling landscape and more hostels than any other region of Sweden. Other treats include castles, historic cities and the pretty coastline."
"Popular cylcling areas include much of Denmark, which sets the world standard for cycling infrastructures."
"Dansk Cyklist Forbund also publishes 'Overnatning i det fri' which lists hundreds of farmers who provide cyclists a place to pitch a tent for Dkr15 a night."
And here are some bicycling links for Sweden and Denmark.
