When I had my service station, we had a public air line as a courtesy, during the summer hardly a day went by that a kid blew up his bike tire. Yeah they make quit a loud bang when they blow up.

One time I had a parent come down, and bitch that his kid blew up his tire with my courtesy air line, and wanted me to pay for fixing his bike tire........

The next day the courtesy air line was gone, never to return. This was in the late 70s, early 80s, when everyone had free air lines out for the public, I wasn't very popular when I discontinued that free service. By having free air access people tend to keep refilling the tires that leak on their cars, rather than getting them fixed, so I was discouraging people from having me fix their tires, and costing me money to keep running the compressor, and replacing the stolen air lines that also cost me money.
