Perfectly Simple

It sucks getting a flat on your bike. It sucks more using a compact frame pump. It sucks most when you don't have a pump at all (but you should know better than that). Make yourself a simple tool and never get stuck again. It would fit in even a small seat post bag, and you know there are car tires full of air everywhere. Don't think of it as stealing, because you are keeping your bicycle on the road. That's a good thing!

  1. A few problems I can think of:

    You need a car nearby.

    You are actually "stealing" air from the car. Get caught tampering with someone's car and they are generally unhappy.

    Car tires are only pumped up to about 35 psi. That's not nearly enough for most bicycle tires.
