Why insist on puncture repair as a skill?
It's in line with what they teach driving, doing your test now you need to show basic maintenance skills topping up oil and such.
I can imagine the hassle of showing and watching someone trying to repair a puncture on a dutch bike, which could take an inordinate amount of time.
Unsure why you as an instructor would opt to use a style of bike that makes it more difficult, even with a "dutch bike" you can teach them to replace/repair the front tube and observe the outcome without doing the rear and also teaching them how to adjust hub gears. How useful that skill is to trainees is another thing.

It's not in core bikeability though is in the NS. The NS is greater than bikeability. Punctures is in B+
