Depends on the type of valves the bicycle wheels have. Many use Schrader, which is the same as for cars, but quite a few use a Presta valve, which is skinnier. Im that case you also need an adapter. Real narrow road tires can take higher pressures than what's usually used in car tires, which can be a problem if you want them really topped up.
