The Icelandic Mountain Bike Club
The Icelandic Mountain Bike Club was founded in 1989. It's a non-profit cycling club and grassroots organization. We are interested in bike culture, traveling by bicycle, we promote the use of the bicycle and advocate for better conditions for cyclists, the environment and sustainable development.
If you are planning an adventurous cycling trip, Iceland is unique in many ways. We do not sell or organize trips here except for weekend trips for our club members, aimed at newcomers to help them get started. We have however gathered extensive information for you to plan your own trip around Iceland. If you come well prepared, with good quality clothes and gear we hope you will not run into any trouble and thoroughly enjoy your trip here.
You are welcome to visit us at our clubhouse
If you're in Reykjavik, Iceland you are welcome to visit us at our clubhouse at Brekkustígur 2, 101 Reykjavik, corner of Framnesvegur. We always like seeing new faces and making new friends. The house is open Thursday nights from 8pm. Cyclists gather there informally for a chat, working on their bikes, finding partners for weekend rides or getting help organizing longer trips. You can check out our calendar for events , it's in icelandic.
