That is still better than the idiotic mistake I made when I first started out.

Was pumping my 700X35 front tire up to 70 psi. For the life of me I could not figure out why it would not go over 40 or 50 psi. Then I popped the tube.
Don't use a cheap car tire gauge for a bike. They only go to 40 or 50 psi. d'oh!
