How about something like this. Not overly big or heavy to carry in your panniers. Should reduce the cardio needed by a little bit. https://www.motosport.com/product/?a...segment=badger

Those should be able to go 1-2 weeks without needing to top it off. Get a CO2 inflator for on road use, and either a floor pump or electric for home use.

...or any power inflator that uses batteries you already have. If you don't have any cordless tools, the Ryobi route is the cheapest. The inflator is $20, you can get a battery for $25, and a charger for $25. Comes with an excuse to buy any number of other 18V cordless tools.
Based on this thread and one other recommendation in the past year, I decided to buy one of these today. I love it! (I already have the Ryobi 18V lithium battery system.)

Coincidentally, I just bought a replacement for my Ryobi inflator this morning--- it had finally been dropped for the "too many-eth time" and the gauge now won't go below 30psi. I got over 2 years out of it for 20 bucks, I'm okay with that. Maybe if I put the new one in a spot where I won't knock it over/drop it once a month, it will last even longer! Sigh. I've dropped that poor thing so many times.
