I had a crappy mountain bike for months, never pumped the tyres, didn't even own a pump. Built a single-speed, still didn't own a pump and used bike shop ones once or twice if I had to. It was only when I moved in with sumo that I realised how great having your own track pump at home was, and that 50psi is not the ideal level for a tyre to be.
I know it's hard to comprehend, but most cyclists know fuck all about bikes.
