That is the great thing about my hammock. My gear, including the bike, can be on a tarp under the hammock and rainfly. When it is raining, I can pack everything up under the rainfly. I can pack away the sleeping bag, and hammock without anything getting wet. The bike is basically ready to go before I take down the rainfly. It is quickly stashed on the bike and I'm on my way.
