If you don’t already have one sitting in the garage, get an electric air pump from one of the local hardware stores. Save the cardio for the bike ride. Since you are going to be checking tire pressure and gassing them up on a regular basis, might as well get organized...
The one I have has no air tank. It is rather small, so the cost is modest. It should come come with a Schrader valve fitting for automobiles and many of the wide rimmed MTB tires.. If you are going to buy new tires, might as well buy new Schrader valved inner tubes at the same time. Then you can use the air pump as is. Otherwise, stop by a local cycle shop and get a Presta adaptor, which should work with the Wood’s Valve inner tube that came with the Karkhoff Pro Connect. They are very low cost item. Otherwise, you can buy a air pressure replacement head for the air pump at the cycle shop that has a duel head, one Presta and one Schrader fittings.
