I was in the shop last night and was looking at a wheel off of a bike I have had for years, I had actually patched a sidewall, got to thinking back...I must have been completely out of money at the time, but had a patch kit available. And I must have ridden on it at least some. Based on the bike and the time frame I had about a 3 mile one way commute at the time and was working a minimum wage job. It wasn't too long after that I purchased a new bike and this one was put out to pasture.
