    I don't think that one will work.

    Based on the low-res picture of your bike and the fact that you say it doesn't take a standard pump it's very likely got Presta valves.

    That pump works for Schrader valves (ie the same as on car tires).

    Here's one from that site you linked - http://www.sportsdirect.com/muddyfox-alloy-floor-pump-931166

    Does Presta and Schrader. Or your local bike shop will sell you one.

    I'd get the one quozl posted. Will fit both types of valves and looks better quality than that cheapie.

    Good tyre pressure is essential for efficient cycling. You'll be very glad of a good pump.
