Jeff ...

Can't remember where I saw it, Harbor Freight, or Heartland America. A
foldable/
collapsable tent, about $40, just the right size and perfect for a bike.
A lot cheaper than CycleShelter, and real easy to use.

Is that what life is really all about?
Horns honking, and people yelling?

The difference between the 2 would be that the CycleShelter opens in
such a way as to allow easy access, is easier to set up and store, and
unlike a normal tent it's arched frame pieces would be able to stop more
than a few leaves or raindrops.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Polarhound ...
This 'tent' I saw was (like) a two man tent, and was real light, but
could be pegged down. It had a zipper flap thing for getting in & out.
The big thing about this was it folded up and down like an ubrella. 20
seconds and it was up, and about the same to store it in it's case.
I gotta hunt that ad down.
I know it sounds Mickey mouse, but it really was cool. Smile
