Advice: inflating wheelchair tyres

[ciphergoth]

A recently wheelchair-using friend is finding that a bicycle pump doesn't seem to fit her wheelchair tyres, and they are slowly getting flatter and flatter. She mentions that she once had the tyres inflated from the compressed air at a garage, but I know that if I take the chair to a garage they will have no idea what to do or whether I'm in danger of blowing the tyres up. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

Yep to all that.

If your bike pump doesn't fit, it's probably a Presta, and all track pumps will have one of those, as it's what Real Bicycle Tyres have.
