air

 bike's been sat for a couple of weeks due to lockdown and I just aired up the tires this morning, the rear having lost nearly 1/2 a kilo of pressure.

 So I pumped air into the tire, do I need to ride it gently for a few miles so that the new air mixes properly with the old and  gets evenly distributed around the tire?

Did you put French or British air in? You shouldn't mix air!

 I only buy local stuff Pete, its so much more eco conscious

With the air you keep losing I'd be concerned whether you're getting any of that Chemtrail shit in your air!

I wouldn’t worry about it, you’re pumping air from the same region.

Now if you were to do it on the road quite away from home, then do go for a coffee and give air to get used to each other.
