You’re biking several hundred meters downhill when ahead a valley covered with lava and moss bursts into view. To your right are the glittering glaciers and to your left is a canyon so large it would swallow up your 30-story apartment building in one bite. Where else could you see all this but Iceland?
Many cyclists choose the ring road (Route 1) for their journey, while others are up for a wilder ride on the unpaved routes, like those in the highlands. Regardless of how rough you like it, Iceland is the great wide open you and your bike have been looking for. You’re never far away from supplies and services, but the roads and trails will certainly keep your pedals spinning.
