While we are on the topic of tyre patch jobs...

Here's one I made earlier (photo courtesy of +Dave Douglas-Jones) !

That's some bits of plastic between tyre and tube, some gaffer tape and the remains of the burst inner tube tying the parcel neatly together. Can't do that with rim brakes but in this instance it got us a couple of miles to the nearest bike shop (also in Settle coincidentally).
