bike pump

Cycling air tool

A bike pump is a handheld device for inflating bicycle tires, using a piston to force air through a valve.

Most have a gauge showing pressure.

Floor pumps stand upright for easier pumping; portable pumps attach to the bike frame for roadside repairs.

I keep a bike pump in the garage.
