I like to ride the smaller roads out on the country site and just enjoy the fields and farm animals on grass, especially now with all the cubs. But I have some practical comments to your response: Biking from Copenhagen to Jutland you need to either take a ferry from Zealand to Jutland or get on a train over the bridge from Zealand to Funen as you can't go by bicycle over it - it's a expressway & train bridge only. Once there were buses taking cyclists over but I don't think they are running anymore. There are no problem riding a bicycle from Funen to Jutland as one of the two bridge allow cyclists. About camping in Denmark, I think the only place you're allowed to put up a tent is on camping sites so you need to find out where those are on your route. I think it's more easy in Sweden as I think you can just put a tent up in many woods etc. and for free. One last thing. I don't know how old your son on the Vespa is but I think you should look into if it's legal for him to ride it here in Denmark and in Sweden as well. I don't know if it's a problem but it's better to check out before ! I wish you all a very nice trip here in Scandinavia !!! Peter Hi John

We are thinking about biking from Kobenhavn over to Jylland, then north to the tip, then taking a ferry across to Sweden to Goteborg. We will be camping with our tent every night. Are there any especially wonderful places to cycle? I am bringing my recumbent bike, and one of my sons, with a broken ankle, will be riding a Vespa. Everyone else will have road bikes.
