We cover 27 countries with a page of their own. Together they have 32,355 public stations in 11,851 towns and cities: 25,349 with a pump (11,332 of them compressed-air pumps) and 21,028 bike repair stations. 9,198 are open 24/7.

United States, Germany and France lead with 53% of all stations between them. Compressed air is most common in Philippines (90% of stations), repair stands with hand pumps in Mexico (97%).

Where stations carry fee information, Austria is the most reliably free: 100% of its rated stations cost nothing. Across all countries it is 85%.

How public bike pumps work

Public bike pumps come in two kinds. Bike repair stations are posts with a hand or floor pump, often with tools on steel cables and a hanger to hold the bike. They stand in parks, at train stations, on campuses and along cycle routes, and they almost never cost anything. Compressed-air pumps are electric compressors, mostly at gas stations, car washes and bike shops. They fill a tire in seconds but are built for car tires.

Before you pump, check your valve. Most repair-station heads fit both Presta and Schrader; gas-station air chucks fit Schrader only, so a small Presta adapter is worth carrying. With a compressor, add air in short bursts and check the pressure, because a narrow road tire can burst well below car pressure. The right pressure is printed on the tire sidewall.

All stations on this site come from OpenStreetMap, where volunteers add and update them. If a pump is broken, gone or missing from the map, fix it directly in OpenStreetMap or use the report button on the map. The change appears here after the next data update.

FAQ

Which country has the most public bike pumps?

In our data United States has the most, with 7,166 public stations, followed by Germany (6,123) and France (3,917). The numbers depend on how thoroughly each country is mapped in OpenStreetMap.

How many public bike pumps are listed here?

32,355 stations in 27 countries: 25,349 with a pump and 21,028 bike repair stations, spread over 11,851 towns and cities.

Are public bike pumps free?

Mostly. Of the 11,230 stations with fee information, 85% are marked free. Repair stands are almost always free; coin-operated compressors are more common at fuel stations.

What is the difference between an air pump and a repair station?

A compressed-air pump fills a tire in seconds but often fits only Schrader valves. A repair station is a stand with a hand or foot pump and usually tools; it is slower but works with Presta and Schrader.
