The thing about bicycle tents is that you want a tent big enough to be comfortable in, light enough to take while bicycle camping and be usable for all conditions you will be riding. Let say you are doing a adventure cycling ride where you ride in groups and may be in places where you camp inside a gym or pavement area, a free standing tent is the most useable since you do not need to be staked out. If you have anything other than this and you do these type of rides, then may find yourself in situation where you are constantly trying to find places to camp which may be difficult if you are in a city. Comfortability is another consideration sense although you may be able to get by in a single person tent, a two person tent may be idea sense you can put your equipment inside the tent with you thereby protecting somewhat your stuff in addition to more livable space depending how big you are. Dome type tents are free standing typically and tunnel tents are not so the use of a tunnel tent may be good if you know for sure, you are camping outside on dirt that can be staked into.
