Naive question...how often does anyone use a bicycle pump? Speed? Unless racing, No issue spending a couple minutes pumping up a tire.
I use my floor pump before every ride, unless I ride on consecutive days. A couple of minutes is an exaggeration. It's much less than a minute to top off two tires. To fill a flat road tire is still well under a minute.
