Bike pumps in Canada at a glance
OpenStreetMap lists 1,230 public stations in Canada in 349 towns and cities: 332 compressed-air pumps and 898 bike repair stations, 500 of which have a built-in pump. In total, 832 stations let you inflate a tire.
Most stations in Canada are bike repair stands: a post with a hand or foot pump, often with tools on steel cables. They take a little longer than a compressor, but they are usually free and in public space.
46% of the stations are in the 21 cities with their own page below; the other 668 are spread across smaller towns.
Free or paid?
425 stations in Canada carry fee information: 312 are marked free and 113 paid (73% free). Most are free, but keep a coin ready for compressor pumps. Stations without a fee tag are not necessarily free.
Valves, gauges and opening hours
29 stations list their valve types: 19 fit Presta and 28 fit Schrader valves.
Of all stations, 8 have a pressure gauge, 7 are covered, and 22 are lit at night.
261 stations are open 24/7 and 266 have opening hours listed. Pumps inside shops or fuel stations follow their opening hours.

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.
