The future of bicycle pumps is electric, and I am jumping on the bandwagon with this Cycplus AS2 electric pump deal in the Amazon Big Spring Sale

Cycplus Cube Mini tyre inflator.

To say I have - in the past - been sceptical about electric bike pumps is an understatement. I have repeatedly waved my fist around, shouting, "Why? What's wrong with the best manual bicycle pumps?"

However, something has been on my mind for a long time: wouldn’t it be nice to have a puncture, especially when it’s cold or raining, and not need to mess about with a pump? It’s already hard enough with tubeless setups and hookless rims to get tyres back on by the side of the road, so why add to the task unnecessarily?
