We have had a Bike Cave bicycle storage tent on trial for many months, and it has been ideal for our needs, being cheap, sturdy and waterproof.

Made from a tough, hard wearing and durable PE polyethylene fabric, the design includes a protective flap over the zip to limit water ingress. Every attempt is made to ensure they are as watertight as possible but there is no absolute guarantee that they are 100% waterproof. Like any tent, depending on the extent of inclement weather, a small amount of rain water ingress or condensation can occur. The mesh floor panel of the previous model has now been replaced with a PE plastic sewn-in groundsheet The very idea of a bike tent as a means of storing your bike has taken a while to become accepted. The Bike Cave is designed to keep your bike dry and readily accessible. Where do you actually store your bike? Can you get at it without tripping over it? In recent years we have all seen massive growth in cycling. Bikes are more popular now than ever before and bike tents are becoming the obvious answer to the question of where to store your bikes. Wanting to see how much I could stuff into it, my Bike Cave is currently looking after an adult mountain bike with FollowMe hitch attached, a rear child seat and two bikes suitable for a three year old. The standard TidyTent (also known as Bike Cave or CampaCave) only has a detachable zipped door panel at the front. Whereas the TidyTent XTRA has not only a front door panel but also boasts a completely detachable rear door panel. Just remove the front door of one TidyTent and the rear door of your new TidyTent XTRA and zip the two TidyTents together! Create a double, a triple, or even a quadruple. Create your very own “TidyTunnel” – as long as you need! Please also note there is a limit to how much weight the fiberglass rods can withstand. This product is not suitable for snow and is not designed to withstand heavy snowfall. If you do use this product in the snow, then regularly remove the snow to keep snow build-up to a minimum. Damage to the product due to use in the snow is not covered by warranty.There is a limit to the weight that the fibreglass rods can withstand and the product really should not be used in snow. It is certainly not designed to withstand heavy snowfall. In our tests, it was seen to withstand up to the equivalent of 32 kg of freshly fallen snow. If you do use it in the snow then you must clear the snow off regularly to prevent snow build-up. Damage caused to the product as a result of use in snow will not be covered by warranty. Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Bike Covers. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Bike Cave Tidy Tent. The Tidy Tent Bike Cave Xtra is basically a tent designed to accommodate bicycles and associated paraphernalia, whilst maintaining a footprint that is not too obstrusive such that it takes over your garden, patio or driveway. Coming in a handy storage bag, emptying out the contents revealed various lengths of fibreglass pole, some guy ropes and pegs and the bike cave itself.

There are an increasing number of bike storage tents on the market but our product was the first! Ours is the genuine and original “home for your bike”. We were the first company to develop the concept of using tent technology to shelter your bikes.

The BlueStone comes with a set of ropes and clips to allow you to set it up however you’d like, but then it’s really up to you. It’s essentially a large tarp with 19 attachment loops around the top and outside. In some older models, you may find an additional pair of vertical fibreglass poles. These are optional and designed to fit vertically under the two main arched poles to afford additional strength and support in the event of snow. If you do use in the snow then clear the snow off regularly to keep snow build-up to a minimum. Damage to the product as a result of use in the snow is not covered by a warranty.
