Hi Justin, thanks for commenting and following along. The southern part of the old E4 is excellent for cycling. It’s the point where the old and new E4’s merge where it becomes more challenging. It’s doable, though, and perfectly legal to cycle on that road in northern Sweden. You just need to be a bit more careful. Unfortunately, I do not have any alternatives that you could use because that’s the only road I cycled on in that part of the country. However, I’m sure you could find another, safer road if you do some research.
