HOW TO make an Automatic bicycle pump (and cheat a Hummer)

Posted By: Vikas Shekhawat | Apr 1 2006

You probably would not like to bang that pump after that grueling paddling through the streets. So, what's the solution? It's simple, make this automatic bicycle pump and fuel your bicycle with the much needed air whenever it needs without any hassles. The automatic pump fills the wheels with pressurized air stored in automobiles and that'll not be a problem to find in this jungle of cars.

You just need a 50cm-100cm long air hose and two chucks tightly fitted on both the ends. Look for a hummer or a tractor or a big beast to steal the air, because you need a good pressure too. Connect one end of the hose to your bicycle and fix the other to the automobile tyre and voila, it's done, :-)
