have tube repair kits - including Rema - always carry on rides
but can’t recall the last time I patched a bike tube
maybe the last time I patched a bike tube was around the time when we would fix broken wood bats with glue and screws ... and often the entire street / most of the neighborhood) had just one decent baseball ... when the baseball was hit deep into heavy brush we searched for it endlessly - or had to raise a manhole cover if the ball went down into a storm drain
