bicycle pump

Two-wheeler's inflator

A bicycle pump is a hand-operated device for inflating bicycle tires.

Most have a piston mechanism that forces air through a hose into the tire valve.

Floor pumps stand upright and use a foot brace for leverage; hand pumps are portable and attach to the bike frame.

I keep a small pump in my bag for emergencies.
