Hi Kati
Frederico gave a good tip to do some island-hopping in Croatia. For the return leg from Dubrovnik north again, it's very easy to use a bus. There are plenty of busses going north along the coast from Dubrovnik. Several daily busses to Zagreb, and lot's more to places nearby (like Split). You'll probably have to pay the driver a small surcharge for your bike.
Do try to schedule Dubrovnik as far away as possible from the main tourist season. It's a very popular place for visiting. I was there in april after my Yugoslav trip (you probably remember the report from the touring-list), and it was just the rigth level of tourists there.
BTW, the Youthhostel in Dubrovnik has no bikeshed, located at the top of a long staircase. Still secluded enough to lock your bike safely somewhere on the forecourt.
