Thanks Philip Bike Tinker for fabulous patches for our saddle bags!  We don't live in goathead country, but earned the patches with a flat in Albuquerque along the Rio Grande.  Will wear with pride!
Thanks for letting the group know they're available!

In case you missed the patch but feel you have earned one...

Those are really cute.  

Tinker, make sure your etsy listing has the diameter of the patch.  Or photograph it next to a quarter for relative size.

It's 2" in diameter.  And you don't need to have had a goathead flat.  They also work to ward off goatheads.  Proof was at Strada Rossa, where these made their debut.  No goathead flats that I heard about.

Thanks, Liesl! Such a pleasure.
Bill - I'll do that, thanks for the heads up.
Doug - they really do ward off punctures, don't they?

These are really cool, but having never actually SEEN a goathead (let alone a flat), I feel like I'd be tempting fate to sport one now...

I had never heard of Goatheads before I borrowed a nephew's bike in Utah late last century...I learned!

Perhaps there should be a Bike-in-Kitchen Demerit Badge a la cyclotourist! It still makes me laugh.
