Online magazine WeLoveCycling.com has just published an epic story including a stunning video from their trip to Iceland in August this year.
The mountain bikers embarked on a four-day trip in areas outside the capital and in the central highlands where they negotiated trails and paths which are off limits to motorized vehicles. “The best four days of my life,”says one of the bikers, Slawomir Bednarski from Poland.
Please keep in mind the words of local bike guide Rúnar Ómarsson, who explained in a feature we published last year that some trails are only really open a couple of days each year, so people cannot ride wherever they want, whenever they want. “Nobody wants to damage the nature. People come to enjoy the natural beauty and therefore they want to protect it.”

“You could say Iceland is a dream destination for mountain bikers”, Rúnar said, noting that some foreign mountain bikers see the unforgiving weather and the price of a trip to Iceland as the biggest challenges. “But that’s just how it is”, he added. “If you can afford the price ticket and are willing to brace the weather, Iceland is a great destination for mountain bikers.”
