Public bike pumps

We have installed on-street bike pumps located around the Greater Bristol area to help keep you enjoying your ride.

These are regularly maintained and serviced by local businesses.

About the pumps

• They’re permanent fixtures, bolted to the ground
• They’re FREE and very easy to use
• They work with both sizes of tyre valve
• There’s a handy gauge to check tyre pressures

Why tyre pressure is important

• It affects grip, comfort, safety and performance
• Inflate to the recommended pressure (PSI) shown on the side of the tyre
• Under-inflated tyres make your bike feel sluggish, it’s much harder work to pedal, tyres wear out more quickly and you increase your chances of getting a puncture
• Over-inflated tyres are not so safe, your grip on the road is reduced and the ride becomes uncomfortable
• It’s always best to check your pressure before you set out
