      Went to Iceland in 2014 with ma best mates, rented a car for a week and we explored like only 10% of the country, it's MASSIVE but incredible, one of the best experiences of ma life, would love to do it again on a bike this time, this video reignited my lost love for travel, thank you, and great vid you two seem like solid dudes 🙂

      what was the name of the store where you left the bike cases? or do all bike stores accept to storage the cases? (if you know, am planing to do a similar trip :D) thanks! and amazing! cheers!

      What theeeee heck!! Guys, first of all I want to say congrats for the effort and second ''Its about the journey not the miles''. In the last days I saw you have been to plane wreck.. and I tough ''they will go to Solheimajokull (ive been there with the bike and done some ice climbing (cause i dind had a car lol) , it is verry close to Skogafoss 1h'ish biking to the glacier) And guys!!! I've worked at Skogafoss Hotel 1 year ago and I used to take my lunch breaks in that small room where you guys left your bike. Hhahahaha what a small world! nice video, I hope one day I will return to Iceland to make a similar bikepacking trip like u !! sorry for my eng btw 🙂

      We were in Iceland in July scouting a route out. And for my daughter's 11th birthday we did an 11 day self-supported ride. Our kids are now 15 and 19 so yes it will likely be tough for them but we still want to give it a try. thx.

    20. omohon on

      hey could you list the bags you used for storage? Or what you did with storage attached to the handlebars to be more specific? Thanks!

      It looks like an epic place beyond words. So hardcore you went into the hot springs AND got back out to ride more! Crazy! Lol. But how do you ride in those temps and conditions then tent camp?? Warmly? I think of my winter rides and how cold I am for hours after a hot shower. Any secrets?

    27. Hoser7 on

      Fk me, you’d need to sleep with your head under the roaring river to not hear Armin snore!!! That is why Michael was waking up tired. 🤣🤣🤣

    28. Juan Jimenez on

      It looks epic.. your videos are helping a lot I am going this summer. do you need a permit to fly a drone?? I'll appreciate if you could tell us your experience flying a drone in iceland? thanks

      Thank you, dear, sir, so very much for sharing your Icelandic bike packing! Best regards from Sweden! Cycling around Iceland is now on my bucket list, I have done the circle around Iceland by rental car for ten days in 1992! The best road trip I ever experienced! I so much appreciate your top-class bike packing video and I like all the smallest details that make your video so valuable when planning for a bike packing coming trip! God bless you both most richly! By the way, is there any channel to see Michel´s podcast/or YT-channel? Best regards from Sweden! 💯❤👍👍🤏
