Hello there! :-)
In August this year I want to do a cycle tour in Iceland, for about a month or a bit more.
Any experiences, ideas and recommendation regarding route...?
I'd be happy to hear!

Cycle Tour in Iceland
Hi Hanna. I´m a local and would love to give you some tips and advice but they may depend on your preferences and way of travelling.
Are you camping or seeking a warm bed every night, are you able to go on the mountains or do you want to stay on the paved roads?
In a month you can easily go around the country on rout nr. 1 (with detours and side roads) but I´d also recommend locations on Snæfellsnes peninsula (in the west) and the Westfjords (in the north west). Other options could include going up to the highlands but that requires more of you and your equipment but you get less car traffic and probably stronger nature experience (which may include worse whether conditions :) ).

Hello! We are heading to Iceland in 2 weeks but only for 2 weeks, sadly. We want to check the west fiords (and north-west if lucky and fast enough:)) so can give you an update before you go :) keep fingers crossed :)

@ HA - do you happen to know any warmshowerers around ? :)
Unfortunatly I do not no any Anna. Not very active warmshower activity here.
My wife and I are planning to arrive mid June for a week of cycling Iceland, riding 26" touring bikes, any suggestions for a loop from Ryk and back. We're experieced cycletourists but far from young, will be prepared to camp as needed.
