Can't add anything other than jealousy. I really enjoyed the train ride between Stockholm and Copenhagen, and would loved to have done it by bike.
Are you allowed to cycle over the massive bridge?

West coast is really nice south from Gothenburg and pretty sure you can ride bike paths the whole way. Planning on doing Malmö-Gothenburg then north this summer (got a rough komoot route if you want a link?)
Maybe some people heading there too was a pretty good turnout when they had ncmc in gbg 2018.

I guess not, you could take a train. I thought I would the ferry from Helsingborg. The rest of the ride from Helsingor would be a homage to the time when I did my studies in CPH, familiar roads!

I'd vote Gothenburg because of the Kattegattleden. The Eurovelo 7 links the Danish national route 9 (CPH to Helsingør) with the Swedish Kattegattleden that goes from Helsingborg to Gothenburg. I did some of it with my kid last year and am planning to do the lot - and back - next summer (I live in Copenhagen). It is a very safe, relaxing mix of cycling paths, gravel paths and quiet roads, and is so well signposted you don't need a Garmin. There are ferries all the time so the crossing is cheap and easy.
The Kattegattleden gets pretty busy with cyclists in the summer but in May I wouldn't think it is. -

Thanks! I'll look into it!

I cheated and went Copenhagen - Malmo - Goteborg by train, but cycling outside of each town
(to Amager, Lund and Kullaberg/Ockero respectively)
I found that a really great way to maximise time and squeeze in highlights, plus from Goteborg megabussed to Oslo for a convenient flight back (again ft peri-Oslo gravel excursions) -

I did Göteborg - Ystad many, many years ago (30ish). Memory is pretty hazy but the route along the coast is nice.
Stockholm - Malmö is (obviously) longer but probably nicer with a bit more varied scenery.

Cafe Husaren, Haga in Göteborg. Cinammon rolls the size of a dinner plate.
There's a NCMC happening in Copenhagen in May and I'm planning to ride there through Sweden. Flight tickets are pretty much the same for Stockholm and Gothenburg. Is there anyone who has done either route? Are there any "must see's"? So far I have the maps for swedish gravel roads and shelters.
