Bike touring around Denmark
My wife and I would like to do about a week's bike tour (lightly loaded) in Denmark after the conference. We'd like to rent a bike and stay either at hostels or private homes (through Drupal site http://warmshowers.org).
Questions:
* Where do you recommend that we spend a week bike touring that time of year?
* Suggestions about how to rent bikes (or maybe a tandem)
* Any other suggestions about bike touring
Thanks for any and all help!

Note: This should probably go in a new forum topic, perhaps "before and after the conference" or something.
You've come to the right place...
What a great idea. Denmark is the perfect place for a bike holiday.
1) There are a lot of places. Do you want it to be hilly? or flat? (Denmark is mostly flat) - How far would you like to go? And do you want towns or just countryside?
2) Take a look at this page: http://www.visitdenmark.com/uk/en-gb/menu/turist/inspiration/aktivferie/...

Post your ideas about what you want to do. And I'll try to give you a recommendation.

Great maps to buy
A good idea is probably to stay on Sealand... so you can make it back to Copenhagen in time for your flight :)
I can recommend the books from Danish Cycling Association. They are available in english.

If you need any help getting your fingers on these let us know.
About renting a bike, I have sent a message to a client who can probably point me in the right direction about the best place. I will do a follow up post
OMG!
Oh my gosh! I'm hearing about this (bike holidays) for the first time. How were able to bike from Arctic to Argentina? I don't even have patience to travel so long in a car. I appreciate you. This is amazing!
