Bicycle Touring around Iceland

Austin and Stephanie Lehn from Canada are currently biking around Iceland on bicycles from Reykjavik Bike Tours and Bicycle Rentals in Iceland. They chose the sturdy Trek 4300 mountain bike for the Iceland journey as they were planning to cycle on the tarmac around Iceland as well as some gravel roads in Iceland. You can read about their bicycle journey on their blog website - Bicycle Touring in Iceland.

Their blog is called "whereisstheice."

Austin and Stephanie started in Reykjavik 3 July 2012. They then bicycled north and west around the Snaefellsnes Peninsula (Snæfellsnes), and had a close look at the Snaefellsjokull glacier. Then on Arnarstapi, then to Grundarfjordur, Stykkisholmur, Bildudalur and Dynjandi waterfall in the Western fjords in Iceland.

Why hire a professonal tourist guide?

The practice of guiding, as a profession, is not to be overlooked or underappreciated. Guiding is a skill, an often academically-accredited qualification that elevates a destination’s capability to showcase attractions and other areas from baseline to beyond expectation.

Hjólað í vinnuna - Bicycle to Work 2012

Hjólað í vinnuna, or Bicycle to Work, is an annual bicycle event in Iceland. The aim is to get people to bicycle to work. The event is promoted in the spring, probably with the purpose that those who start cycling to work in spring, may continue all summer and perhaps all winter too. Some 666 workplaces took part this year and the total distance covered in 13 days was 741.450 km. About 133 tons of Co2 emissions was not added to our athmosphere and 55.597 liters of fuel which would have cost about 116 thousand US dollars. The winner this year was the Family- and Domestic Animal Zoo. The highest average per participant over the 13 days was Meistararnir (The Champions), who cycled 804,7 km on the average.
