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.

Actually, it isn't that bad. He was only carrying 40 pounds when he got
on the first Circle Line train. He left 10 pounds there and only had to
carry the 30 pounds of explosive a few yards to the second Circle Line
Train. Then he only had to carry 20 pounds to the Picadilly Line
platform. Then he only had to carry 10 pounds on this walk or ride to
Euston (Square?) Station to place the bag with the final bomb on the
upper deck of the bus heading back to King's Cross.
