When I was a racer boy, I did the math and calculated what PSI my tires needed in order to support myself and the bike. I religiously maintained those pressures. Back then, I was 130lbs in gear. I carried nothing with me. NADA! Not even the bikes included tool kit. A few dollars for a drink and snack. Not even my license, reg, or insurance card. I lived dangerously back then. I figured if "The Man" caught me I'd be dead from trying to outrun them.
