I have a simple single stroke pump permanently attached to my bike. I simply use the bracket it came with bolted to my rear mudgaurd just above the numberplate. I think it cost about a tenner.

I can endorse this too. Had one strapped to my mountain bike for 4 or 5 years, used two or three times. It's now strapped to my rack on the XT. I reckon I'll sweat more breaking the bead than pumping the tyre back up...
