When is it too cold to bicycle in Reykjavik?

Cold is a relative term. Reykjavik for instance is warmer in winter than New York, Spitsbergen and Kululsuk but is colder than Barcelona and Cape Town. The secret to a comfortable ride in Reykjavik‘s capital in winter is to don the right attire for the occasion.

Today, for example, it is 8 degrees Celsius and hardly any wind which for the locals means it is a nice day for biking.

Last December Reykjavik Bike Tours took guest out on a bicycle tour fifteen times including Christmas Day and New Year‘s Eve. Ok, I admit, some days we had frost but I was never cold since everyone wore enough warm clothes.
