The Bikekamper is actually what I'd call a bivy-tent, ie. you can't sit up in. It would be pretty miserable for a 45 day tour if you had to spend bad weather in it or needed a refuge from bugs during waking hours. My double-walled tent is a Kelty Clark, but it's heavier than I'd want to carry on a bike tour and the poles are long. For a long tour where a hammock wasn't appropriate, I might go with something like the Tarptent Moment for lightweight, bug protection, and sit-up room inside.

Plus my front wheel has a dynamo hub and the wires on that get more worn each time I unplug them so I'd rather not be unplugging it daily. But if I had a touring-dedicated bike, that wouldn't matter as much.
What is your double-walled one-person tent and would you get it again?
