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.

Iceland Airwaves 2010

Get tickets for Airwaves now! You might loose out if you do not act quickly. A documentary film made by Bowen Staines and Gunnar B. Gudbjornsson called Where is the Snow?, showcases last year‘s Airwaves festival through live performances and interviews. Surely, you know Agent Fresco and Retro Stefson? Not exactly Bjork-style.

Of course the locals think Icelandic music is the best in the world like everything else coming from Iceland...

Bicycle path instead of parking spaces

Parking spaces will temporarily make way for a bicycle path along Hverfisgata street in Reykjavik on Friday.

The experiment will last one month and the idea is to promote bicycling in Reykjavik.

Some residents were not notified that parking along the street would no longer be available. They‘re told that they can use a parking garage for ISK 4,000 per month (GB 20, US$ 32, EUR 25). Residents complain as they have to walk much further carrying groceries and tools etc. Source; mbl.is, visir.is.

Reykjavik Marathon 2010

The 27th Reykjavik Marathon takes place Saturday 21 August in Iceland's capital city.

Over 700 participants from abroad have already signed up and couple of thousand from Iceland. Needless to say, some people were reluctant to sign up in May and June due to the volcanic eruption in Eyjafjallajokull volcano. The volcano's name proved difficult for foreign news media professionals to pronounce. Some took a shortcut and just called it “The volcano”.

The inhabitants of Reykjavik and the whole of Iceland are very excited about the Reykjavik Marathon and Culture night which takes place on the evening of the Reykjavik Marathon. It is just perfect to run a marathon in the morning, rest, and enjoy free museums, music and fireworks in the evening.

Reykjavik Bike Tours departs at 10 AM as usual from Reykjavik‘s Old Harbour, next to Elding Whale Watching company, but there will be no scheduled evening departure. Private tours in Iceland are available HERE upon request.
