Bike pumps in Chile at a glance

OpenStreetMap lists 138 public stations in Chile in 56 towns and cities: 55 compressed-air pumps and 83 bike repair stations, 13 of which have a built-in pump. In total, 68 stations let you inflate a tire.

Repair stands with hand pumps and compressed-air pumps are roughly balanced in Chile, so larger towns usually offer both.

15% of the stations are in the 4 cities with their own page below; the other 117 are spread across smaller towns.

Free or paid?

59 stations in Chile carry fee information: 55 are marked free and 4 paid (93% free). So the vast majority of mapped pumps cost nothing. Stations without a fee tag are not necessarily free.

Valves, gauges and opening hours

Valve types are rarely tagged in Chile. Most new repair stands have a dual head for Presta and Schrader; compressor pumps often fit only Schrader, so a Presta adapter helps.

Of all stations, 1 have a pressure gauge, 3 are covered, and 7 are lit at night.

32 stations are open 24/7 and 37 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.
