Top 10 Hottest Summer Party Spots north of the equator are:

Reykjavik in Iceland has done it again. Made it onto a list of top 10 of something. This time it has been named as one of the top 10 pleaces north of the equator to party this summer.

Reykjavik gets 24 hours of daylight for about 6 weeks in the summer so there's plenty of time to party. Reykjavik is famous for its music scene and crazy Friday and Saturday night pub crawls.

Winter Bike Tour in Reykjavik Iceland

Reykjavik Bike Tours operate bicycle tours all year. There's no such thing as bad weather, only insufficient clothes!

Ok, we do cancel tours if it is too slippery or if the snow is too deep. We've once cancelled in September because of strong wind and horizontal rain as we call it over here.

We have some extra clothes on hand for those who come unprepared. Hats, gloves, raingear, socks, jackets etc.

Loose weight while bicycling

A recent article on Bicycling.com mentions some of the benefits of cycling. Among some of the positive effects of cycling are; weight loss, improved mood, muscle build up, less strain on your joints and ligaments than if you were running - and the best of all, while bicycling people do not feel so much that they're working out. It is all about fun.

Just spoke to a friend of mine who at the age of 50 had started collecting some extra weight. He described to me how he's lost 14 kg in 10 weeks as a result of bicycle training. Ok - he is a bit extreme since he cycles for about two hours a day on his road bike, and does weight training a couple of times a week.

We figured it out that he lost the equivalent of the weight of a Mars bar chocholate each day since January 1 this year.

The Dutch know how to bike and use various kinds of bicycles. It doesn't look like many of them use a helmet.

Ministry of the Interior in Iceland may in near future introduce a new law / regulation which make it compulsory for bicyclists of all ages to wear protective helmet and reflective vest.

The current regulation says all 15 years and younger must wear a helmet.
