Any recommendations for small light tent ⛺️ that would be suitable for Cycle Touring? Thinking of cycling the Isle of Wight in the summer for a couple of days, but undecided wether to book hotels/B&Bs or campsites and carry my gear.
Anyone else out there that has done this?

Are you looking for a one person tent? And what's your budget? A bargain one person tent is the Alpkit Soloist. Fab tent and packs up into a reasonable size and not a bad price at all

if you're on facebook join wild camping uk - the members of that group have lots of experience and will give good advice
If not, have a look at Life in the Wilderness...they have a section specific to this?

Do you really need a tent to do a cycle tour around the Isle of Wight, I thought you could do the full distance around the island in half an hour?

For my cycle tours from Manchester to Scotland via the Lakes, I started off with a Terranova LaserLite, great little tent around 1kg all up so added the footprint, that was back in 2005.
Still got the LaserLite as I only used it around three times, but in 2007 moved on to a larger tent that could also accommodate the bike, so now also have the Hilleberg Nalo 2 GT not too heavy at 2.4kg, so also added the footprint to that.
Both are great tents and very well made, although the Hilleberg appears somewhat pricey these days.
Have a read of the backpacking section here. It will give you an idea of suitable tents. I would recommend a Vango F10helium ul 1 or a Coleman cobra 2 or a vango banshee.
