How about ANY FINITE SEQUENCE AT ALL?

A nonrepeating number does not mean that a sequence within that number never happens again, it means that the there is no point in the number where you can predict the numbers to follow by playing back a subset of the numbers before that point on repeat. So for 01 to be the "repeating pattern", the rest of the number at some point would have to be 010101010101010101... You can find the sequence "14" at digits 2 and 3, 104 and 105, 251 and 252, and 296 and 297 (I'm sure more places as well).
