A regulated CO2 setup may be in order, if you're willing to put out the money to buy a nice regulator and are willing to refill the tanks (by either pumping them up yourself with air or taking them to a pball shop). You could also use a scuba tank, regulated down. You may want to just buy a small 5 gallon tank and pump it up yourself. The real only "free" alternative is to just use the ol'elbow grease which probably won't work with your bbmg.

Free alternatives? That depends on what you have lying around already. As for completely free, the best you can hope for is the ~2psi that your lungs output.

Simple! Steal some babies from their strollers. Feed them bread and water, giving them occasional dead rats to keep their strength up. Once they reach the age of 7, you may begin using them to power multiple bike pumps. Chain them together so they don't escape, and whip them often. They love it. Also, make sure they do not ever stop working. It's totally free because they will find their own food, be it mice, dirt, or plants.

And then when they turn 28 yrs old and are muscular beasts filled with hate against you they can rip your arms and legs off and tell YOU to do the work!!

fiddety3's posts are like a blunt pencil - utterly pointless.

(Yes, I know it's the oldest joke in the book, go away)

Quick, time for the Lolcats picture I made:

Feel free to spread that one around if you want (it's tagged as my creation, look closely at the bottom left corner on the expanded image). I originally made it to see if I could make a popular lolcats pic, then got sidetracked.

And this one, which isn't mine, but one of my favourite lolcat pictures, and is the one that inspired mine:
