What kind of "on the bike" pump do you ladies use?

CO2 on my road bike...I'm impatient. Tubeless on my mt. bike

Can't remember the brand/model off hand, but carry a larger pump that still is frame mount, but has the foot peg and flexible hose to work like a floor pump. It is big and looks dorky (I have a small, compact frame, so the pump is actually on *top* of my top tube), but it really fills the tire up. I still carry a cartridge, because it is so fast & easy, and the pump is the backup.

But, I used to have a sexy little mini-pump and carried a cartridge. Then, one day about 30 miles from home without any services and spotty cell coverage on the direct route home, I had a blowout. For some reason (the first & only time since) my cartridge malfunctioned (or I screwed it up) and I could only get my tire up to mushy with my sexy little frame-pump (and it took forever). With a mushy, booted, cut tire, after a 30 mile trip out, and a tire change in the sun, it was a long ride home. After that I got the dorky, but effective, pump. I also mounted a 3rd bottle cage on the bottom of the down tube, where the sexy little pump used to be. I feel much more prepared now.

$7 used Zefal from Recycled Cycles that is so big it won't fit on my frame. (it has the little socket for the old-style brazed-on frame pump peg) I carry it in my pannier.

Torelli Mini-pump (it actually works!), followed by Planet Bike CO2 thingie, and if both of those fail there's the Fredwina Athena team car with spare bikes and wheels and a mechanic following me.

Topeak Road Moprh - the only on the bike pump I have ever managed to get my road tyres up to any sort of decent pressure with

Does the Fredwina Athena team car carry hot, no foam, whole milk, double split-shot lattes, too?

Cuz, y'know, anything less just wouldn't do.....

Oh, and I need the team car to have a pedicurist and a leg-waxer. Those are two jobs I just can't seem to keep up with, and I'm sure my aerodynamics suffer because of it.

Eyebrow wax, too.

Back on topic (while still dreaming up Team Fredwina Athena): I have big ol' cyclocross tires, which I'm sure have saved me a few punctures on my commute to work. I'm one of those folks who sees glittering broken glass on the road and does the magpie routine; "ooooh, shiney things, ride over them with BOTH tires!"

ano vote for road morph. And i've learned the hard way that it is a good idea to test your frame pump occasionally.
