<p>Hi Tom and Matt,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have 2 lezyne portable pumps I like a lot. Both have a small hose, stored inside the handle, that is reversable and has both valves. The great thing about the hose is that it helps avoid breaking the valve stem on the tube. And with this type of pump there is no risk of losing small parts while out in the field.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Happy riding!</p>

<p>I've used the interchangeable valve thingy and decided it's better to have two lightweight pumps with each valve set up. But it stands to reason that a <a href="https://silca.cc/collections/accessories/products/silca-17-4-stainless-presta-head" rel="noopener" target="_blank">SILCA 17-4 Presta Head</a> could be a much better option when used with a Schrader setup on the pump.

With a small length of tubing leading to the Schrader head I think this will work well. It's what I use with my floor pump at home. I have a small MDI pump I'm planning to use for with my repair kit for this purpose but it's in the need of some restoration.</p>
<p>Basically I don't like the idea of possibly losing or damaging any of the small parts in the illustration when I might be 60 miles from home.</p> F*ck you.

<p>F*ck you. I pay for the service, and the service was sh*t. It's not that difficult to keep the stations balanced, at least with a handful of bikes, especially stations that are isolated.</p>

<p>There are multiple apps aren't there? I use an app called Transit, not the DIVVY app. It can display multiple modalities: Metra and L, CTA buses and DIVVY. (It might also have some Uber/Lyft connectivity, but I don't use either service.) When my key fob hasn't worked, I've successfully used the app to get a code for the rack. I don't recall it ever giving me bad information about how full or empty the racks were. Might be worth a try.</p>

<p>The DuSable Harbor station has only one bike. What. The. F-ck. No station should EVER have less than a few bikes. Divvy should have usage data broken down to 5 or 10 minute increments. For any station they should know if the station is gaining or losing bikes. There's absolutely no reason a station should be empty, or nearly empty. </p>

<p>Looking at the map near Michigan and Illinois, there's 2 bikes in a half mile square are. Numerous stations have zero bikes, and a few have 1 or 2. Why? They simply give up trying to move bikes at certain times. </p>
