I just bought an MSR Hubba Hubba for bike camping. It's not a cheap tent and you do need to buy the ground sheet separately (should be included IMHO). I love it here in Hawaii. It's for 2 but is very nice for one large guy. We have really big centipedes here (think 4-6") so sleeping without a floo

I am in starting the "looking" phase of purchasing a tent for bike camping and was wondering if any of the group had any recommendations. I need the tent to fit two people at most (I may go with the wife sometimes) but usually it will just be me. I guess top priorities would be weight, I would
