Bike pumps in Czechia at a glance

OpenStreetMap lists 625 public stations in Czechia in 324 towns and cities: 287 compressed-air pumps and 338 bike repair stations, 184 of which have a built-in pump. In total, 471 stations let you inflate a tire.

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

8% of the stations are in the 3 cities with their own page below; the other 573 are spread across smaller towns.

Free or paid?

181 stations in Czechia carry fee information: 172 are marked free and 9 paid (95% free). So the vast majority of mapped pumps cost nothing. Stations without a fee tag are not necessarily free.

Valves, gauges and opening hours

21 stations list their valve types: 2 fit Presta, 19 fit Schrader, and 4 fit Dunlop (Woods) valves. Riders with Presta valves should carry a small adapter.

Of all stations, 8 have a pressure gauge, 4 are covered, and 43 are lit at night.

124 stations are open 24/7 and 127 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.
