High-Pressure Pop

Zeroed in on the sidewalk public bike stand, and right at the base of the yellow steel post was a heavy brass pump nozzle dangling off a reinforced rubber hose! That slick chrome thumb-lock latch was clamped shut, just begging to be tripped. You think I’m walking past loaded pressure? No shot! I planted my sneakers squarely across the knurled brass barrel, wrapped both hands around the lever, and threw a savage backward heel stomp. SNAP-PSSSHHH! A wicked blast of trapped air hissed out across the concrete slab, launching a loose neon-pink paper tag into a wild aerial spin right over my curls! Quickest pneumatic blowout on the block, baby!
