Well I have used mine numerous times and its been fine, both on cars and bikes.

Bah humbug!

Step 1: Go to Halfords
Step 2: Purchase Michelin Double Barrel Foot-pump
Step 3: Relax, safe in the knowledge that in 40 weeks time it'll have paid for itself (40 x 50p = £20 purchase price) and you can pump up your tyres any time you like, whilst getting some exercise.

HTH!

Hard times this credit crunch eh?

Shell garages are all still free where I am. And as someone else has said I mostly find the free ones are usually broken.
When I fill up with Morrisons you get 3 minutes free air time anyways or 10p a minute.

My electric pump was only 7.99 and it requires no effort from me.
