Sure, they're standard for a lot of stuff like selzer bottles and pellet
guns, so you'll always be able to find a canister somewhere--though it
might not be the exact amount you need.

I'd just spend a little dough on one of those mini pumps and not worry
about it.

Then there's the method of just waiting for another passing cyclist. :P
