Both Copenhagen and Stockholm are great cities for biking, and I'm looking into some options for bike tours. I reserved a spot on a bike tour in Copenhagen, and I've inquired about a Bike Hike (caution: crappy web site) through Djurgården in Stockholm. Depending on the timing, I would like to rent a bike on Æro too.

Another activity I'm looking into is hot air balloon flights. I checked into one company in Stockholm, but you have to buy a non-refundable ticket in order to make a reservation, and if they cancel due to inclement weather, you're stuck with your ticket. So I found a company in Helsinki that does it as well, and Mary and I are going to see if we can make that happen.
I have to remember to leave some days open for day trips. Most of the excursions I'm considering from Copenhagen are close enough that I could do them in half a day or even less. Still, I only have two full days in Copenhagen, so there's not a lot of time for extra activities. My big day trip from Stockholm, to Uppsala, Sigtuna, and Skokloster Castle, will probably be a long day. Same with a trip from Helsinki to Turku and Naantali.
