Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏Oct 16, 2024

In August we gave a short in-person presentation on “ABC Quick Check.” In the process we showed attendees our portable pump and the pump we use at home, a Park floor pump. When we commented that you don’t always have to have an ample budget to get quality tools—that we’d bought our Park pump used at a Goodwill store—some asked which Goodwill. It was this one, on West Broadway in the Monterey County city of Seaside. While biking last Sunday, when we paused out front of that store, there was another person who bikes apparently scouting their inventory. :)

BTW, Seaside’s West Broadway is tops in the county for number of conveniently located bike racks and also public benches. (See “Rest Stops” for why that matters. https://bikemonterey.org/rest-stops-people-who-bike-walk-or-otherwise-get-about-sometimes-just-need-to-sit-a-spell.html)

@kcposch: For about 20 years I have now this #Topeak #bicyclepump with mechanical gauge. Still works fine as on its first day. Only the clamp for keeping the grip in locked state got a crack many years ago and has lost a bit of its power.

Bought it for my first recumbent and now use it with that little adapter mostly for my Brompton.

IIRC it costed something around 70 to 80 € back then, but I no more know the model and the print on the body wore off long time ago.
