Some further experience.

I just completed a 2300 kilometer bicycle trip from Toronto to Halifax 
carrying:
 - OM4
 - f/1.4 50mm
 - f/3.5 21mm
 - f/2.8 100mm
 - 2x tele-extender with screw out lens to make a 25mm auto extension 
tube.
(those were compact & light)
 - f/3 200mm Vivitar Series 1 (not compact or light)

I found I used, in order of frequency, the 21mm. 200mm, 100mm, 50mm and 
tele-extender with 200mm. The 50mm was used mainly for low light.

I also brought a (heavy) tripod that travelled all the way in the 
luggage truck with only occasional use at campsites.
