Bikes: Lots

You can stop and do laundry while you have lunch one day, that eliminates a lot. Other than that just carry the basics of camping. I have a popular post about it on my blog also.

And unless you're travelling in some really remote places you can buy ... toiletries, clothing, camping gear, etc. etc. along the way.

Regarding the food ... we rarely carry more than about 1.5 days worth with us. We just buy it along the way.
