air pump

A bicycle air pump is a tool used to increase the air pressure in a bicycle's tires to the recommended level. It is used to pump air into the tires so that the bicycle can ride safely and efficiently. There are different types of air pumps:

  1. Floor pump: A larger pump that sits on the floor and is operated with both hands. It is ideal for use at home or in a workshop.
  2. Mini or pocket pump: This compact pump is usually carried in a backpack or on the bicycle frame and is intended for emergencies on the go.
  3. Co2 Pump: This pump uses CO2 cartridges to quickly inflate tires, ideal for quick repairs on the go.

Bicycle pumps can have different connections (e.g. Presta or Schrader valves) depending on the type of tire valve.

    Fahrrad aufsteigen und absteigen: Links oder rechts – so geht's sicher

    Aufsteigen, losfahren, anhalten, absteigen – das passiert bei jeder Fahrt mehrmals und läuft bei den meisten völlig automatisch. Trotzdem sind genau diese Sekunden die wackeligsten Momente auf dem Rad: Du bist langsam, stehst oft nur auf einem Bein und hast das Gewicht des Rades seitlich neben Dir. Wer die passende Technik für seinen Rahmen kennt, steigt entspannter auf, fährt ohne Schlingern an und kommt auch mit einem schweren E-Bike sicher wieder zum Stehen.
