There are dozens of top quality ultra light tents out there. And if you do not like what you see, wait a few weeks and a new crop of designs will show up.
I have a couple that were designed for use with trekking poles, but since trekking poles are not convenient to carry on a bike I cut regular tent poles to the correct length for those tents, cut them to fit in a pannier when folded.
