I finally rode the bike down to the bike shop, hoping to use their air pump to put a tad more pressure in, more than I was willing to sit and pump in with a hand pump. Get there, plug it in, and promptly drain every bit of air out of the front tire. :-/ Employee comes out (the store was closed), I ask him about the pump, and his reply:

"Oh yeah, the compressor finally died on us. We need to order a new one."

I think he would've taken me in, had I not had the hand pump still strapped to the frame (which I was hauling out when he came out of the building). So, pumped it up by hand anyway.

I think I may call them tomorrow and suggest they put up a sign in the window, "Warning: the air compressor is not working, do not attempt to fill your tires..." ;-p
