Bike pumps in the United States at a glance

OpenStreetMap lists 7,166 public stations in the United States in 2,359 towns and cities: 2,267 compressed-air pumps and 4,899 bike repair stations, 3,074 of which have a built-in pump. In total, 5,341 stations let you inflate a tire.

Most stations in the United States 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.

30% of the stations are in the 114 cities with their own page below; the other 5,016 are spread across smaller towns.

Free or paid?

1,988 stations in the United States carry fee information: 1,398 are marked free and 590 paid (70% 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

151 stations list their valve types: 31 fit Presta and 144 fit Schrader valves. Riders with Presta valves should carry a small adapter.

Of all stations, 27 have a pressure gauge, 63 are covered, and 275 are lit at night.

2,610 stations are open 24/7 and 2,640 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.
