Nice idea but there are at least 10 pubs within a 200 yard radius of where I live and about a million students.My Dad had a pump on a cable outside his shop for random tyre pumping. It poked through the shutters after closing so people could use it in the evenings and on half days/Sundays etc. It never got nicked - which might have had more to do with the era in which he had a bike shop - and my Dad or Uncle were always happy to pop out and help someone pump their tyres up. I think that the pump got my Dad & Uncle a fair bit of business in the "oh while we are here, we might as well get an innertube/new bell..." sort of way. They never charged to pump a tyre up, they said that it was customer service just like when the man filled your car up with fuel and didn't charge extra for the filling service.
