Talking to me? Sure Sweden is a grand place for touring! Prices are steadily dropping as the rest of Europe/World is catching up! Prices of alcohol is in fact dropping the most due to pressure of the new EU import regulation. A glass of lager in the cheaper places are far less than in UK pubs, due in large part to weak currency:

Easy access from Stockholm with local train/fast ferries. Ryan Air has rock bottom prices on flights to airports in the Stockholm area.
To many great spots on the mainland to be mention here. If you are strapped for time you need to do careful planning due to the larger distances and a infrastructure that is more spread out! If you have more than a month then I would suggest you include Norway for a change of scenery.
There is a well developed system of bike path´s in the towns and interlocking trails stretching trough the country that is documented in maps and guides. Not always paved or separate from the motortrafic but the intensity is usually very low. If the roads are busy they will be wider than in the UK.
Trainsystem has over the years deconstructed official opportunities to bring the bike along. The only way now is to brake the rules and bring it in a bikebag(or send it via coach-currier service!). This has worked every time I have travelled but is annoying. Same goes for long-distance coach service. It is in fact easier to get on a internal flight with the bike.
You were asking for a warm place and I must say the temperature and weather differs greatly during all seasons!
Last summer we had periods with more sun and higher temperatures than many typical tourist spots in the Mediterranean. But you never know how it will turn out even if June and August is your safes bet!
Drop me a note if you have further questions!
