If you’re reading this article, you probably want a low-cost pump to get your bike ready to ride. Schwinn’s 5-in-1 pump was made for that and so much more. If you’re a member of a household with kids, you likely already know what that “so much more” entails. If you’re not, try and think of all the sports balls and summertime pool toys that exist in the world, and then think about the most universal way to fill them up-with an air pump and needle.

Ready Made For Multiuse
This pump works with both Schrader and presta valves and has a range of up to 140 psi, which is typical among bike pumps these days. What’s great about Schwinn’s 5-in-1, and what makes it great for families, is that it comes with an inflating needle for sports balls, a plastic adaptor for pool inflatables, and a holster for both so they’re always there when you need them. So, if you’re looking for an inexpensive pump that can be utilized by the entire family, the Schwinn 5-in-1 has you covered.

Why Cyclists Will Love It
The best thing about this pump is how easy it was to use when it came time to inflate my road tires. It delivered high-dollar efficiency at a low-dollar price. When I first began cycling, I bought whatever pump was sold at my local shop-wrongly assuming that all pumps delivered the same quality. What followed was a near hatred for the preride ritual of airing up my bike’s tires. I often ended up bending valve stems and having trouble with pump heads leaking once I hit 80 psi. Part of this was undoubtedly my newbie level, but it was also because I owned a bad pump.

The Schwinn 5-in-1 is a good pump, and would be great for any rider looking for a value-priced option that avoids the woes I endured at the beginning of my cycling career. It would also be an ideal choice for households in which children will be learning to use an air pump, in part because low effort is required to pump air and also because its low cost should alleviate some of your frustration if it’s accidentally misused and broken.
