Topeak Bikamper Tent

Introducing the Bikamper--a tent that quickly integrates with your bike to create a lightweight and compact, backcountry cycle camping shelter! Small, light and versatile, it utilizes the bicycle itself which eliminates the need for heavy, cumbersome tent poles. This personal shelter utilizes the bicycle frame and front wheel in place of conventional tent poles. Fork anchor axle mounts to the dropouts and has tines on it that get pushed into the ground like a tent stake. To further stabilize the bike, there are two draw-down chords that attach to the handle bars and get staked to the ground on both sides of the bike. The combination of these two things makes both the bike and tent very stable. Bikamper is constructed of durable, waterproof coated 45D ripstop nylon. Fly is constructed of fully waterproofed, durable nylon ripstop and offers an additional layer of protection. Three mesh windows provide ventilation and stargazing on pleasant nights. Both body and fly pack down to a tiny, space saving size and weigh just 2 lbs. 15 oz. Includes fork anchor, stakes, cords, accessory bag and stuff sack. Internal hang loops offer contact points for hanging items inside tent.
