The weight of course matters. My practical solution has been, like with a suitcase weight, to make the bike very rollable. I decided against a number of aftermarket options that could save weight, but looked way too fragile. I cannot afford the bike breaking under conditions where I am completely out of my element and yes sometimes my life can depend on it.
