Info

This advice comes from Michiel Erens Overseas Interest • When I started this site in December 1998, there were only a handful of other sites [on Iceland]. Nowadays there are over a hundred, and at least a dozen new ones a year pop up. Overseas visitors • You won't be the only cyclist though. If you stay in the more popular areas, you will meet at least a couple a day. I met cyclists from e.g. Holland, Belgium, Italy, Denmark, Poland, England and of course Germany. I even met a bicycle tourist from Iceland once !
The shoulder months • I can't tell much about cycling outside the summer, because I always went in July and August. I suppose it is possible before July and after August. But you'll have to deal with closed roads, minimal tourist facilities and sometimes bad weather. Repair shops • There are several bicycle shops in Reykjavik, and most are not far from the campsite. But there are only few in other parts of the country. I've seen shops in Akureyri, Egilsstaðir, Isafjördur and Selfoss. The local supermarkets hardly have any bicycle stuff. And even a car repair workshop might be a three days walk away. So bring your own tools and spare material.
