Not sure about Romania - couple of sets of my mates had stuff nicked there but nothing more serious that wouldn't happen in Rome or something anyway.
Cycling along the Rhein/Rhine and Mosel rivers in Germany during summer was very easy and pleasant. Catch the Rhein in Flammen (massive fireworks festival that moves between various cities).
Actually cycling in Germany and Netherlands is very cool. Southern Germany gets hilly unless you stick with the rivers though and northern is a bit boring. The Netherlands is just too cool with their bike culture!
Northern Poland is flat but I've not cycled it. Shouldn't be a problem and it's in the EU. Watching the Tour of Poland race on TV right now. Southern Poland is hilly.
If you like beer, Belgium is great for cycling around. Not as nice scenery-wise but the beer! the BEER!! :)
