Would it be steeling air from the brakes that might be needed? Only if you fill up your bike tires while doing 55mph down the freeway... Seriously. if you are PARKED you do not need air brakes, and the small amount a bike needs will be replaced by the compressor faster than you can draw it off.
CAUTION however.. when filling bike tires.. You need to use a valve retulated fill chuck and be very careful, if you just (Valve regulated ones are the kind where you pull a trigger or press a lever to add air) as you can very quickly overfill a bicycle tire and damage the tire..
Sounds like a gun shot, And LOUD at that, when you do that.
First you hear a ripping sound.. Then if you keep adding (or a few minutes later) BANG!!! trust me, I know. (Did it).
