Alright, some people might remember an April Fools joke from last year. Source put out a "pump post"
http://www.sourcebmx.com/dyn/_news/page-1.shtml
That was a joke. Although, I could see it catching on. Maybe more in road bikes, but, whatever. Anyway, this is something that is completely serious. Basically you take the seat off and it works as a pump. Ah well, whatever. Not the point.

Well, I kinda like it. Seems like the seat might have some weird forces on it, but in a pinch it would be sweet. I personally ride with a 6mm/8mm allen key on me all the time (that's another post about what to ride with though). My post is 5mm though :( ANYWAY, I like it. Pretty cool, not just another seatpost, and using what you have to make what you need!
Besides, I run railed :P
This is what the KisBikeCo. site says about the post:
So, we want you to only need one tool in your pocket. The, unsung hero, the 6mm Allen key! With riders who use pegs, this became a bit of a problem. We worked on slotted bayonet fixtures and all manner of crazy peg designs and ideas for months until we realised, we really cannot change the function and powerful design of a peg. They take too much abuse to start making them in two parts. So... We did a bit of reverse thinking and developed this idea. The Integrated 17mm Socket set and seat post! Basically, you use your 6mm Allen key to take your seat and post out. Your seat and post then become your socket set for your pegs. So simple, so functional, and ideal for road-trips,at home or abroad.
The posts are long enough (135mm) for most pegs.
