Hi,

This may be a slightly random post but I hope someone can help me.

I am looking to cycle from Gothenbourg to Copenhagen however I dont want to return to Gothenbourg so was looking to hire a bike in gothenbourg and drop it off in copenhagen.

Does anyone know if this is possible and whether any companys can cater for this.

Any help you can provide me would be much appreciated.

I don't know that anyone will be able to help you with such a specific question. Your best bet would be to email some rental shops in Gothenburg and ask them. Unless there's a chain of related shops in both cities - and Google doesn't encourage me to think that there is - I suspect the answer is no.

An alternative, if you are flying in and out of the same airport, would be to rent a bike in your airport city and transport it by train to and from your endpoints. Danish trains are pretty good about such things, though it looks like Swedish trains may not share their bike-friendliness (unless you rent a folding bike, or are prepared to break it down and pack it in a box).
