No, I don't see what you mean.
I think the bike license plate idea is lame. Getting mocked for
shoaling and salmoning by BSNYC should be punishment alone for the
scofflaws.

Where's the fun in that? And you call yourself a "recreational

I know, this seems like a good way to go for them and their customers
(us!). I've been going back and forth forth for a few months now
trying to decide what frame to get for a camping/touring type bike and
this just seems to be complicating it.

SpaCycles presenter's toe strap trick (and calm English demeanor) to
keep everything under control.
If you use good technique, good patch and good glue, a patch's bond can be
stronger than the underlying tube. Be sure to scuff the tube thoroughly, let
the glue dry to touch (but don't touch it too much!) and press the patch on
