Hi, I'm planning going, no dates yet as I'm working there then doing the trip.Been twice.I'm planning shipping my bike over, from UK/faroes/Iceland.What type of bike are you taking?
The main ring road has been completed and is now very good.You certainly don't need a trail bike , any road bike will do.
The main interior/gravel roads, last year were often washed out and the surface was very washboardred / rippled, making riding a shaky business!
I am looking to leave a bike there and am looking at customs/import regs.
I have friends there so I could store it.
Bike hire in Iceland is Very expensive.

You may be able to go from Scrabster or Aberdeen to Lerwick and get a Smyril ferry Iceland via Faroes, or if Smyril no longer stops at Lerwick get a ferry from Lerwick-Faroes. A lot of the ferry info on this route is out of date.
Smyril Ferry has discount for bikes.From Mainland Europe/Denmark.
