About Planet Bike
In November 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, WI. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.
Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.
Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high-quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, the company strives to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short 10-year history, it has made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the four-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that 10 years ago started as a one-man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve its product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

Rating: - Excellent pump
This pump is capable of easily delivering over 100psi. It's ideal for owners of both Presta and Schrader valve tires because it can inflate both without any reconfiguration. The attached gauge is easy to read and very convenient. I'm very happy with it.
Rating: - An excellent ergonomic bike pump at a great price.
I got tired of trying to inflate the bike tires on my family's four bikes with my hand held portable pump and bought the Planet Bike 1002-3 ALX based on price and ratings. I wasn't disappointed.
The hots:
1) "Love Handle" - two hand grips at just shy of a 90 degree angle comfortably fit the angle your hands are at when held in front of you pushing. The handle is padded plastic that feels fine.
2) The fitting that latches onto the tire is plastic, but of beefy construction ... Read More
Rating:  - Good pump for the money
Bought it for $35 (with shipping). Works well and looks good. Designed to be light which makes it good for carrying and transporting, but does make it a little unstable when standing on it's own.
Rating: - perfect
It works really well. Comes with a needle for my soccer ball. Great for my road bike. Buy this pump.
Rating: - Great tire pump fot the money
Good value for a pump, esp with free shipping. Handle has good ergonomic design and pressure gauge is a big plus.
