Custom Pop-Up Tent Heightens BikeFlights at Sea Otter Classic

Andrew Dodson /// 04/25/2024

It was hard to miss the striking presence of BikeFlights at the 2024 Sea Otter Classic. With its standout custom 10x20 MONARCHTENT, complete with three soaring peak flags, the bike shipment service ensured every attendee knew exactly where to find them.


This setup is not just visually appealing but also robust, tailor-made to withstand the challenging conditions of the country’s largest cycling show.



Quality and Durability

For BikeFlights, participating in several cycling and outdoor shows each year means needing a heavy-duty pop-up frame that can handle tough conditions.

"When you’re working a lot of events, you need the quality to be there, and everything from TentCraft has been top-notch. The speed of production and shipping is a nice bonus, too.” - Bill Alcorn, president of BikeFlights


MONARCHTENT is the only custom pop-up tent that’s 100% made in the U.S. It stands out with its certified wind ratings capable of withstanding up to 35 mph, making it an ideal heavy-duty tent for windy outdoor events.


Functional Enhancements

At these types of large shows, BikeFlights enhances its tent setup with TentCraft's weighted footplates, providing over 300 lbs. of stability for their 10x20 frame. Furthermore, the addition of a custom-printed backwall and a TV mount displaying their service's capabilities not only captures attention but educates potential customers about the seamless bike shipping solutions BikeFlights offers.
