Our single car space, which houses up to ten bikes, a repair shop and three worm farms.
The rest of the garage has room for just five cars.
To celebrate the upcoming Bike Week at the end of September Digital Eskimo has unveiled its latest sustainability initiative: our company bicycle parking and repair station. We’ve converted our single car space into parking for up to ten bikes, with a bike repair station catering to the needs of Digital Eskimo’s fleet and the local Surry Hills community.
If you ride a bike and you work or live in Surry Hills, you know the bike stores have all moved away – making even a flat tyre a real hassle. Basic bike maintenance is also difficult when you live in an apartment (as I do!) and do not have access to basic tools and an area you can make a wee bit of mess in. A good set of tools should be shared as well, so by providing this service we’re hoping to cut down on the need for everyone to buy their own repair tools.
It’s a community initiative so as we launch we are asking our neighbours to contribute/loan any tools they have lying around that they’re not using. Spare tubes, tyres and bike parts are also welcome.
So if you need help with a problem with your bike just buzz the doorbell and a Digital Eskimo will come down and give you a hand. Oh, and air is provided at no charge!

almost worth moving back to Surry Hills for. You guys rock! Awesome idea.
Actually, I like their print icon haha..
Thanks both of you!
We had our first drop in for a repair and some air last week, Alastair Walton from the City of Sydney was the lucky first person to benefit from our community bike repair shop. Onya Alastair
Hey,
Great work guys! Feel free to come down and see us at Cycle-Re-Cycle. We can probably sort you out with some tubes and some other basic bits.
Keep up the good work!
