Bike-packing tent recommendations – Page 2 – Bike Forum

Much to my OH's amusement, I want to rediscover my youth and do a bit of bike-packing & wild camping. Rescued my old tent from the loft and discovered that the sewn in ground sheet was rotting away, and the inside of the tent stinks like a stale sprout fart. I think its safe to say that I'll be staying in the tent on my own, so can anyone recommend a (lightish) one person tent? FWIW, I'd thought about a tarp or bivvy bag, but would like to try some winter excursions, so think the tent might be better - especially if there's room to make a brew in there:)

You can also use a small sponge to wipe it down before packing. That can make quite a difference to the wet weight.
