I wasn't trolling! It just seemed to me like the sort of thing that sounded like a good idea but was actually a useless gesture. Like 'ooh look, let's have bike pumps around the city, like how there are petrol stations, because we're trying to promote cycling. That way it'll be like bikes are replacing cars.' The same thinking is (I assume) what leads to there being loads of electric car charging points near me, and every single one is always empty.
I guess if Sumo's sister sees a pump like this, pumps her tires up and thus enjoys cycling more, and if loads of other people do the same, then it's a good thing.
I had no idea this was such a pressing issue!
Anyway apologies for thread derail.
