I am staying in San Sebastian but would like to bike to Bilbao to the Guggenheim. Has anyone biked from these two cities? If so, where did you rent your bikes? Any other suggestions as to what to do for 2 nights in San Sebastian?

We did not bike between the 2 cities but we did visit a good bike shop while in SS: Mr Bike Gros Green. Its located in the Gros part of the city, across the river from the old town. You could contact them for suggestions at grosgreencenter.com Have you researched how long it will take you, as in can you ride out and back plus see the Guggenheim (at least a couple of hours) in one day? Its about 60 miles on the highway each way, so would be longer using secondary roads. The area is very hilly, there may be a flatter road along the coast but it will be much longer....plus you'll probably want to "freshen up" before entering the museum after that ride. You could take the local bus to Bilbao (1 hr each way) to see the museum and spend the rest of the day or another day doing a local ride out of San Sebastian. As for what to do for 2 nights, pintxos crawl! There are so many pintxos bars in the old city alone, you could do one night there and hit Gros and the "newer" old part of town on the other night....or spend both nights in the old town. Seriously.
