Giro veloce in bici da Reykjavík a Mosfellsbær

This cycling route takes you from the heart of Reykjavik to the charming suburb of Mosfellsbær, a ride of just under 15 km. Starting out in Reykjavik, you’ll be leaving Iceland’s vibrant capital behind, pedaling along a mostly paved path that hugs the coastline for much of the journey—so expect some stunning North Atlantic views along the way.

The route is super bike-friendly, with over 90% on dedicated paths or cycleways, meaning you’ll mostly avoid traffic and get to enjoy the scenery at your own pace. There are some gentle ups and downs (about 110 meters of ascent), but nothing too dramatic.

Mosfellsbær is known as the "Green Town" of Iceland, nestled at the edge of the Esja mountain range—it’s a great spot to catch your breath or grab a pastry post-ride. Whether you’re commuting, sightseeing, or just stretching your legs, this route offers a mix of city sights and natural beauty. Bring a windproof jacket (just in case Iceland lives up to its reputation)!
