Iceland - a cunning plan?
 

There does not seem to be a bike rental place in Iceland - big pity given the riding there and a missed opportunity for an enterprising local.

What about getting together with a couple of other HUBB members who fancy a couple of weeks in Iceland and getting a bike over there to be passed on. A £1500 trails bike would probably be sufficient - I'm open to suggestions on this. I'm personally more interested in the riding than the bike so long as it is reliable. More interested in looking at the scenery than looking good.

This would save a lot of time and a little money on the ferry. Is this a good idea or unworkable?

Let me know if there is any interest in this.

Hi Hans,

I have seen these guys but they don't rent the bikes from what I have heard.

I would be keen not to do an organised tour in a group too. But maybe this is a good option for Iceland. I hope more information comes to light.

KTM Adventure Tours Iceland

seem's to include bike as far as the web site say's.

That works out at $400 per day - I was hoping for a 2 week trip which on a pro rata basis might cost as much as $5000! Throw in airfares, accommodation, food and anything else and I'll be bankrupt.

I wonder whether they get many takers or anyone has any experience of renting from them?

I'm keen to know how to do a trip there.

Cheers.

I'm going next summer. Bringing my own bike. One week to/fro on the ferry, two weeks on the island.
