Bike Tent: Ride a bike, pitch a tent

Bike Tent: Ride a bike, pitch a tentHow many times have you been riding your bike when you’ve said to yourself “Gee, I sure wish I could park this baby and pitch a sweet tent”? Maybe it’s because you want some alone time. Maybe it’s the safest place that a 30 + year old guy can listen to Hannah Montana without getting teased. Whatever the reason, you now have a home away from home.

Just place your front wheel on one end while your bike frame stabilizes the other with anchor, cords, stakes, and a bag included. You get three mesh panels (2 on side, 1 on the end) that give you some ventilation and viewing windows.

    What a stupid concept:
    1) the frontwheel will be dirty so you want that outside
    2) the rear wheel with the gears needs shelter, not stay out in the open like that.

    Without a link I can’t be sure but I would hope that you would not have to put your dirty front wheel INSIDE the tent to set it up. Plus unless it’s pouring and it’s an emergency(at which point why would you care about leaving your bike outside?) leaving you’re rear wheel outside overnight wouldn’t matter either.

    If you gonna call something stupid then at least give a logical reason why it’s stupid.

    I’ll tell you why it’s stupid; because the frame will pivot around the steering column and fall over in the slightest of breezes. Or if the tent isn’t set up on perfectly level ground. Or if you undo/do up the zip. Absolute piffal.
