With all the gear and bike about 28 pounds. The bike I use for commuting is a stock 85 Schwinn Le Tour Luxe, with fenders, pump, heavy flat resistant tires, a seat bag crammed full of junk in case of flats or repairs (contents list too extensive to go through here on this subject), handlebar bag full of what I need at work, water bottles and lights. I take a change of clothes for the week in the car when I drive in once a week (depending on weather sometimes I drive in more, in the winter I only drive in) and take the dirty clothes home.

Not sure why anyone would have 40 plus pounds of gear and bike to carry...or even 35 pounds! Even if I carried my own clothes inside my rear touring panniers (which I don't use commuting to work) I would still only be around 33 to 35 pounds.
