Over the years my bike and gear weight has gone down a lot.
I started out with 75 pounds of bike and gear (45 pounds of gear on a 30 pound bike) for a coast to coast camping and cooking trip in 2007.
My most recent coast to coast trip, also camping and cooking, was with 38 pounds of bike and gear (14 pounds of gear on a 24 pound bike). I really didn't want for anything, was plenty comfy, and that was with a few heavier than necessary items. It did require some really serious planning and aggressive cutting back of the packing list.
I can go a little lighter yet since I could take a lighter bike, bought a few lighter items, and decided I could do without a few things that I have carried in the past. I also might go slightly heavier if a particular trip made some extra stuff desirable, but I don't think I will ever go a lot heavier again.
