Hi all

Last year I bought an Outwell Jersey hoping to use it as a touring tent on my push bike.  When it arrived I realised that the diameter was way to large so I gave it to my brothers kids.  However I've just seen the Quechua 2 second light which seams quite a lot smaller in diameter (65cm as apose 85cm).

My question is has anyone tried using this on a push bike and if so how did you carry it?  Also where can you get these online and at what price, Quechua web site recomends £39.95 RRP.

Thanks

 

Jay

Not tried these on a bike, but i have a 3 second one and spent last weekend in derbyshire in it, plenty of room and well ventillated tent.
I dont think you can get these online anywhere other than e-bay, and there are pretty expensive on there.
But if you have a decathlon near you, they are available exclusively through them.

unforunatly u can't order from the decathalon website as they don't have the facility at the mo but are hoping to make it go live some point this year, the only other place u will get them is Ebay or a Decathalon store.

Try the 1 second Quechua.

Even smaller pack size, just enough room for my 16 stone, a Fat Airic and a rucksack.

Just to go off topic slightly, do you find the Fat Airic is wide enough, morticiaskeeper? And, do you find you slide off it, or not? I'm tempted to try one,but read somewhere on here that they are a bit of a struggle to roll up (more so than deflating an airbed). What do you reckon?
