I have a rack with Avenir pannier bag. In that, I pack a pair khakis, an undershirt, underwear, sock, and work shirt, the cable for my lock, some aa batteries, safety vest and anklets, and spf. Then the lock on top. Plus, I have a blinky attached. My bike has one set of brazens for a waterbottle. So, there's a waterbottle, and an airpump attached to that. On the front of my bike, there is another light, phone cradle, and handlebar bag. Now, in the bag I have a multitool, patches, spare tube, tire levers, tire gauge, energy bars, and 2 more waterbottles.

I would say, when all said and done, fully loaded, she weights 50lbs. So, after all of that, is that a heavy load?
