Cycling in Iceland is a great experience, but challenging. Be prepared for …

Adverse weather conditions. Weather in Iceland can change from one minute to the next. Expect extreme wind speeds, cold, rain and even snow. Bring warm clothing and adjust your travel plans to the weather.

Rugged nature. Steep rocks, crevasses, boiling hot springs, glaciers, and ocean beaches with heavy surf pose hazards to visitors. Respect nature and use caution even if there is no warning sign.

Sensitive vegetation and soil. Due to the cold climate, loose volcanic soils, and increased tourism, trampling of vegetation and erosion are major problems. Offroad driving is strictly prohibited. Follow designated paths, and treat nature with care.

Sparse population. It can be 200 km to the next shop, public transport or other services. Take enough food and spare parts, and let others or www.safetravel.is know of your plans before travelling in lonely areas.

Heavy car traffic. Car traffic has increased massively in recent years. On large parts of route 1, traffic exceeds 3000 cars per day (one car every 10 seconds during daytime). Roads are narrow and there are no bike paths. Cycling on remote roads, and public transport are safer.

Mass tourism. Iceland is visited now by more than 2 million tourists per year. At places like Geysir or Gullfoss you will meet hundreds of visitors. As most tourists seek to find nature by car, cyclists suffer from heavy traffic on main roads and sparse public transport. Cycling in remote areas is a better experience.

Iceland is expensive. Staple foods have relatively fair prices, but for all other goods and services expect to pay much more than in most other countries.

Camping on campsites: On many campsites in Iceland, cars are allowed to be driven next to the tent. When you set up your tent at 8 p.m. on a nice green spot, you may find yourself surrounded by 2-ton SUVs, caravans, etc., at 11 p.m. and there may be a party throughout the (bright) summer night. Campsites with a car-free area for tents only may be more quiet. Use the campsite list on www.cyclingiceland.is to find cycling-friendly sites.

Camping outside of designated campsites is a hotly debated topic, particularly related to overnight parking of camper vans, offroad parking, too little distance to inhabited houses and private property, garbarge and human waste. Rules have become stricter in recent times. Nevertheless, free camping with a small tent and a bicycle far away from the next house is legal and will not disturb anyone. Take care to leave the place clean and in its natural state.

čak sumnjam da ti treba toliko vremena za pripremu, eventualno da se oslobodiš od straha, ali kondicija se brzo stekne na putu, prva dva tri dana voziš malo kraće i to je to. kolko sam primetila nema nekih ogromnih planina, tako da ne treba da brineš.
što se tiče kvarova, ako je iole dobar bicikl koji se redovno servisira male su šanse za neke ozbiljniji kvar. ja nosim bajs na servis jednom godišnje i nikad nisam imala ozbiljniji kvar od bušne gume, a i to prilično retko, možda jednom ili dva put za sve ove godine.
