Wow! Iceland. I picture it as a place that has about 2 weeks of of riding weather.

Maybe you can enlighten me. How much summer weather do you get?

Define "riding weather".

In my case riding weather= no snow on the streets or frost

I don't care about rain,wind or cold as long as I can ride my bike I'm happy

That's why we own raingear and insulated clothing. We don't get much snow here in Vancouver, so it's possible to ride for most of the year. (except on the icy/frosty days).
I'm thinking of getting some heated gloves for next winter. My fingers were really the only part of me I had trouble keeping warm.
Have you ever tried them?

No I didn´t even know that you could buy something like that, I have only heard of heated handles.
