Pop up tent for races

Anyone recommend a good pop up tent for 2-4night stays?
Needs to be able to hold a bike, kit bag and one person so im looking for a very large 2man or a 3man.
Preferably double lined/stitched for warmth and waterproofing.
Doesn't need to fit on my bike, as it will be ferried around by car.
Many Thanks.

Might be worth trying a fishing bivvy. Spent a week in france in the pouring rain with some mates not catching anything for a week last summer.
May depend how you define "popup" though, they had the flexi poles with elastic inside and didnt take too long to set up.
Plenty spacious for a rider and a bike inside with a decent sized porch area too.0 -
find your nearest Decathlon store - i'm sure they'll have something that'll work for you..
We have a Decathlon pop-up tent, and are very pleased with it.0 -
I got my pop up from Decathlon's 2 Second range. It's well made, warm, dry and even fits back in the bag unlike any other tent I've owned!
Not sure how big a one you'd need to get a bike in mind.0 -
I don't think a pop-up tent will be very good in terms of space and rigidity.
Value for money I'd recommend this tent:

£99, takes about 15mins to put up and can comfortably sleep three people and still have a lot of kit in the "living" area. I bought one for Silverstone (British GP) this year, me and my mate stayed in it comfortably for 4 nights using one single and one double air bed. If you were using mats I think you could sleep 4 in it. It kept us warm'ish and dry even though the weather was pretty crap.XC: Giant Anthem X

Quechua from Decathlon - the original and the best!

That's impossible. You're almost certain to come home with an archery set and surf Kayak.0
