Answer
Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager.
For pumping bike tires, I suggest:
- A bike pump that matches your valve type (Schrader, Presta, or Woods). Most stand-up floor pumps work well; some “smart” pumps auto-adjust to the valve.
- If your tire has a Schrader valve, you can also safely use an air pump at a gas station, inflating slowly and checking pressure often so you do not pop the tire.
Do you know which valve type your bike has?
