Title: riding in Sweden?
Post by: linearpower on July 02, 2010, 11:51:21 AM
Hey,
I'm headed out to Stockholm... was thinking about trying to find a bike to ride while I was out there and see if I could perhaps spend a few days touring around a bit.

Has anyone ever done this or does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions...

Thanks in advance!

I'm in neighbour country Norway, but I still recommend Sweden.

You will have to travel a bit out of Stockholm to find interesting roads.
I suggest going North West - less people, traffic and  [leo]

One of the sites I found http://www.mcvaruhuset.se/page_contents.php?id=50# (http://www.mcvaruhuset.se/page_contents.php?id=50#)

Typically it's about $ 500 Fri - Mon and double that for a full week. 250 miles included and another 45 cents per additional mile. It's the insurrance that makes this expensive. Gear for another $ 50 a day. From $ 800 - 1,700 if there is any damage to the bike. License and passport required. Pay by Visa or Mastercard.

If you search for other places, it's called "mc" and "uthyrning" / "hyra".

Going to be an awesome adventure!

yeah Sweden is a great country, have to get away from Stockholm a bit to find some interesting roads though.  For closest, try the coastal towns along the east coast.  It ain't the PCH, but you get a nice little tour through some quaint swedish towns.

No, the 1,6 km mile.
I do my magical calculations and come up with this nonsense  ;D

BTW: we call 10 km "en (one) mil" (pronounced like a meal)
