Give your bike tires a squeeze before rolling out for each ride. Air air pressure drops very gradually over time, whether you ride regularly or not. Temperature changes can swing the air pressure too. Under- or overfilled tires can make your bike handle like junk and cause the tires to wear out more quickly. because most of the inner bits are—surprise, surprise—durable steel and not flimsy plastic.
So how much air should you put in your tires? There's typically some raised lettering on the sides of your tires that tells you the appropriate pressure for each. This is why it's helpful to use a pump with a psi gauge. As a rule of thumb, thin road tires are usually filled with 80 to 110 psi, while fat-tire, mountain bike, or balloon tires typically need around 30 psi but can go as low as 10 psi.
Most pumps, including the Lezyne, are equipped to fill up tires and tubes with either Schrader or Presta valves. These are the two most common valve types; chances are your bike has one or the other. A Schrader valve—the kind that was probably on the bike you rode as a kid—is the simpler style. Just remove the cap, attach the pump nozzle, and start pumping.
