Deer in the New Forest.

I normally stay out of the New Forest on summer weekends as it can all get a bit congested, but I rolled through today with a long lens and managed to catch these ladies at the Bolderwood deer sanctuary.

There's no such thing as a "bike specific" one man tent.

If you're under 6ft my six moon designs lunar solo is excellent but it's hard to find and expensive.
As it's September and it won't be that bad in weather (lets hope) why not take an even lighter option and take a Tarp, you don't need a pole if you rig it up to your bike.
The best on the market at the moment is the Mountain Laurel Designs Trailstar which needs a pole
But if you are working to a budget don't forget a cheap tent will have a poor hydrostatic level, so I would chose a better quality tarp like these from Alpkit

Actualy picture of Monday, but only just uploaded.

When taking pictures of animals I use a "burst" so that if they move, I can recover something....

Sometimes with skill luck the results can be impressive - Flying Lambs

Sorry I meant a tent suitable for bike packing, eg packs small and is light
