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!

What a night was had! If you didn’t arrive by bike to the event, by the end of the night you were certainly making wild promises to drag your’s out of the garage.

The Alexandria Hotel was host to September greenUps, with hundreds of cycling enthusiasts turning up for a social drink.

There was a lot of bike talk, and also a lot of new connections made between unlikely contenders. This is what greenUps aims to facilitate and we’re pleased with the excited and open vibe participants keep on generating every month.

There was a collection of Sydney’s sexiest bikes on display, Tim Longhurst entertained and enthused us with his “town bike”, and the crew behind the Sydney Bicycle Film Festival screened some tempting highlights. Dave Gravina also announced Digital Eskimo’s free bike parking and repair station, located in the garage for all to use!

We thank the City of Sydney for their generosity and support for organising the free bike valet, special guest speakers, an information stall and the fantastic giveaway prize of a new bike. Thanks also to Nutcase for the funky bike helmet door prize!

Please join us for the next green drinks on the first Tuesday in October.
