Serial 1 shows how to properly pump up your bike's tires through the Presta valve stem that's standard on all bikes.

As a responsible cyclist, it is essential that you know how to use a bicycle pump so as not to damage your tires. You can use a Presta valve or a Schrader valve. Determine the proper pressure range your tires need to be inflated to. A typical road bike needs 80 psi-130 psi, while a mountain bike needs 25 psi-35 psi. Before inflating your bike, make sure that there are no dust caps or plastic caps around the bike valve.

Although Presta valves have different dimensions unsuitable for customary air pumps, inflating road bike tires with a Presta valve works similarly. All you need is a road bike pump adapter, especially for tubeless road bike tires that have a Presta valve in them.
