My advice is "don't."
Slapping my forehead at what we're seeing on BF lately. You can't even make this stuff up! I read the thread title and before seeing the OP's name I'm thinking, "Larry's at it again?"
Larry, I respect the you're living car-free, even with some long-ish daily commutes. I admire your ability to get by on a minimal budget. But seriously, you need to be wise. When something breaks, either figure out how to fix it right, scrape together enough dough to pay a shop for the repair, or just don't ride. You're making yourself look like a jackass.
