    When you first buy it, examine it closely and you will quickly see that it is an engineering marvel. How clever to give you a flap to stand on, to be able to pull this, turn that and suddenly you have a wonderful pump that even a weeny armed woman can pump her tires up to full strength.

    At home I have a joe blow pump, but it would be tough to carry that around on my bike.

    I've got a Serfas pump which replaced one of an unknown brand. It does both kinds of valves and is super easy to use.

    I also had a hard time at first feeling like I had to sit on the handle to actually get air in tires, but as my physicist brother and engineer father explained to me - if you want 120 lbs/sq. in, and you weigh 120 lbs and the tube is 1"... you pretty much have to sit on it. After a while you feel pretty awesome because it gets easier and easier and it makes you feel really strong!
