A blog that links to a blog that links to a shopping site that sells the tent for 33% more than the standard internet going rate (e.g. Amazon).
Oh yeah, none of those three sites even bother to mention the manufacturer (Topeak) or model (Bikamper, though that can be seen in the pictures).
Downvoted.
I have the Lynx 2 person tent and like it.
The Lynx 1 person also looks like a fantastic option.
Only thing I don't like is their performance in the wind. If the wind hits the sides it'll blow into you a little but if you are not in a field you should be more than fine.
Are you trying to put your bike into it too? I just ran a chain around a tree and through the bike and then ran one of the tents supports through and made it supported by the bike so noone could remove it while I was sleeping.
Here is something that kinda includes your bike but it's not going to shield your bike if that's what you want.
My personal recommendation is to go with one of the lynxs and then use the rest of your budget for a decent flashlight/lantern, and a sleeping pad.
This is my sleeping pad and while nice, I would recommend getting something a little bigger because I would roll on the edges pretty frequently.
An alternative is the Bikamper which uses the front wheel to support one end and the handlebars for the other. I saw someone using one of these. Looked a little fiddly and slower than setting up my tent. About the size of a coffin, no thanks I'll be spending a lot of time in one later.
Not sure if this is something you'd be interested in, since this won't really allow you to bring your bike in the tent with you. Topeak Bikamper.
I figure you could put a small tarp over the rear of the bike and have a little more room for gear outside.
