Based on reports that each device contained about 10 lbs[*] of
explosive, a lone bomber would have started off with 40 lbs (18 kg) of
weight on their back.

Not impossible, but I'd have thought that would be an unwieldy weight of
luggage to deal with - if you're trying not to draw attention to
yourself leaving bits of it behind - and you want to move swiftly on to
the next target.

Boy Scout backpacking guidelines stipulate 25% to 30% of your weight
for heavy duty hikes. That means you have a guy in good physical shape
weighing 70 to 90 kg (about 150 to 200 lb). If you are planting two on
Circle Line, then you already have one out when the first train
arrives. Grab the second and drop that soon after. Now you are
travelling towards Piccadilly with no more than 30 lbs.... a relatively
small woman could handle that with no problem.
