I do it at home but I have a cheap mini air compressor for cars & bikes http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/p ... RESSOR.htm

Well got it done. I might have put a bit too much in the back tyre, but it seems to ride smooth enough

Generally a painless experience, but the foot pump i have isn't great - had to go to the petrol station to use a real compressor. That involved waiting for a young BMW poser-guy who didn't know what pressures to use and how to even use the pump. It would have been hysterical if i wasn't hot in my gear and wanting to get on: and i thought i was clueless at car-stuff!

Perhaps he was a member of the current Tory front bench who normally have chaps to do that sort of thing for them......
