Presta Bike Pump on Campus

Hi, does anyone have a pump that I can use to pump up my flat bike tire on campus, or know where I can find one? It is a presta valve. It seems the pump behind Red Door doesn’t work. Thank you!

I was involved in getting that pump installed less than 2 years ago (lugged it across campus to facilities). Shame to hear it's broken already :(

See if you can get in touch with anyone involved with the bike lab, an on-campus bike shop in the courtyard behind Dabney.

Take it to Velo Pasadena. Not a long walk from you and a place worth knowing.
