Is it safe to run a patched tire?

Last night I did my pre-trip tire pressure check. One of the tires, the replacement we bought in June on our vacation, was down to 25lbs. Looked it over and found a nail in the tread. I put the spare on and took the tire in for repair. They patched it on the inside. If this were a car tire I wouldn't give using it a 2nd thought. Having had a blowout due to a damaged tire earlier this year I'm a little skittish. Is it safe to use the patched tire on my TT? Thanks.
