We all need to decide what kind of trip we want to go on, then pack accordingly. If you want to go on a camping trip, pack for a camping trip. If you pack for a cycling trip, that load will probably be lighter.
And there's nothing wrong with doing a bit of both. Many of us have multiple kits for different seasons, climates, companions, interests.
I'll cycle to a trail head to join a volunteer trail crew, and that's a way different kind of trip.
