You don’t need a tent to go camping. And when you’re riding across the U.S. on a bike, you definitely don’t want to lug around a stuff sack full of tent poles.

Enter the Topeak Bikamper, a personal shelter that forgoes poles in favor of a 26-inch mountain—or 700c road—wheel and handlebars for support. Just prop the wheel at one end and the bike frame at the other to give structure to the tent’s walls.

The three-season tent weighs just over three and a half pounds, and comes with mesh panels for ventilation and stargazing, and a waterproof 70-denier ripstop-nylon fly. It packs down into a stuff sack that straps onto handlebars so you’ll be able to fly as you tour the country.
