Bike pumps in Germany at a glance

OpenStreetMap lists 6,123 public stations in Germany in 2,126 towns and cities: 1,440 compressed-air pumps and 4,684 bike repair stations, 3,784 of which have a built-in pump. In total, 5,223 stations let you inflate a tire.

Most stations in Germany 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.

26% of the stations are in the 69 cities with their own page below; the other 4,527 are spread across smaller towns.

Free or paid?

2,510 stations in Germany carry fee information: 2,384 are marked free and 126 paid (95% free). So the vast majority of mapped pumps cost nothing. Stations without a fee tag are not necessarily free.

643 stations list their valve types: 425 fit Presta, 619 fit Schrader, and 438 fit Dunlop (Woods) valves.

Of all stations, 412 have a pressure gauge, 129 are covered, and 128 are lit at night.

2,530 stations are open 24/7 and 2,654 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.
