A track pump for home,and a half decent hand pump for when you are out are worthwhile investments. It's a hard slog getting a hand pump any way near 100+ psi though.

It's not worth spending mad money on but I use mine before I go out on any cycle of 20 km or more. Plus I like scales and numbers.I don't have one of them fancy pumps. I just give the tyres a squeeze and when they feel right I go with it. Should I have one of them fancy pumps?
Aldi/Lidl have them from time to time.
I was out cycling yesterday, when a Jeep up ahead had slowed down and after it sped up, all of a sudden is a loose calf running on the road without giving me a chance to make preventative action to avoid the calf.
with my front wheel, it had made contact with the calf's legs. I come crashing down on the road.
injured my knee, hand, elbow, shoulder, bruising and lacerations on the face and very bloodied nose and I also damaged some teeth of mine, chipping them
Stayed over night in Lourdes hospital. Have had scans on face, knee, wrist yesterday and a ct scan this morning.
the calf ran off
coming Wednesday to "what gig didn't you go to last night" - tune-yards

Its stories like this make me want to get a helmet..which I will be shortly.
Also,I never go more than 40 kmph ..usually try to keep it to 30
How fast were you going?
Looking at map my ride, my speed was 25km/h.
If it was 50 metres later, I'd have been going slower as the road goes uphill
The result being broken nose, fractured cheekbone, stitches, teeth.
Ill take it!I've a spare helmet @GO .
Actually you may not want it, it's kind of uncomfortable. I got a better one for my burday. Whatever, it's here if you want it.
