Seriously. Otherwise I'd have to invite a friend over to pump up my tires while I sat on the bike every time, and that would be tedious for all concerned.

How much does the pressure in the tires change with the rider sitting on the bike/not sitting on it anyway?

Everyone's weight varies but it averages around 45,000 psi.

Not at any bike shop, no. They are 94 cents + tax ($1.00) at my shop, and several others in the area.

I imagine that depends on things like tire volume, how stiff the sidewalls of the tire are and the like, but I'd be pretty confident that the answer is not a significant amount at all
