I have seen a lot of roadies in my area that have no more weight on the bike than a tiny under-seat bag with their spare tube and one bottle, some even carry their pump in a jersey pocket. And some wear small backpacks or fanny packs.
I prefer to have all the weight on the bike. But, ice on my back does sound like a good idea in really hot weather.
We all have our preferences that vary a lot.
