Or just use Shrader valves and enjoy being able to pump them at the gas station! Another trick, if you are caught without a pump or a presta valve adapter, cut the end off a presta valve cap and screw it on the valve backwards. It works just like a presta valve adapter so you can use the gas station pump, if you have a quarter that is.
Good tip on using a Presta valve cap as a Schrader adapter. For years I
carried an adapter on the end of a protruding clamp screw in case I ever
needed to use gas station air, but I never did. That was back in the
days of free air. Since they went to the coin machines, I've often found
there was more water than air because fewer people use them.
