Front of bike is stabilized with two guylines and stakes.

Front wheel lifts the mosquito netting away from the feet.

I rigged up an adjustable ridgeline under my mosquito netting. It had to be tightened to lift the mosquito netting up.


Minimal head room.

with rainfly.

Would be tough crawling under the rainfly. Would be a good idea to raise the head end up higher if possible
Hey that's exactly how my looks when it's in my rectangular dome tent except there are no guy-lines holding the bike up.

Years ago there was a tent made specifically for bicyclists and that tent used the front and rear wheels to support the tent. The wheels each fitted into a pocket on the tent. Something like the wheel at the end of this Topeak tent except the tent used a wheel off the bike to support each end.
