On my son's Roadini, I used Racer Tape (https://amzn.to/4o67e3w) which is a
lot cheaper than RideWrap. That bike gets locked up in the school yard and
sees a huge amount of abuse --- I've had to replace the racer tape once on
the fork. For my wife and my own bikes we don't abuse them, so we don't
even bother. Why carry extra weight if you don't have to? My Co-Motion
tandem/triplet/quad after 11 years of use and abuse looks like crap, but at
17000 miles there's no way we're going to be able to sell it for a
substantial amount of money even if there was another dad dumb enough to
want to ride a tandem with their kids. (Over the last 10 years I've only
managed to convince two other dads to buy a tandem and one of them gave up
without even riding 200 miles with his son --- there's a family down the
street who bought a Co-Motion triplet independent of my convincing, and
they tell me they have less than 1000 miles on that bike)
