Ever gotten stuck in the city with a flat tyer? Did you happen to forget your mini repair kit at home? Did you find that your friends were busy and the bike stores were too far away? Well if by chance it ever happens again, don’t fret – drop into Digital Eskimo Lvl 2, 44 Foster Street, Surry Hills. They are opposite the wall café. (Design agency)
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.
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 great idea and service to offer the community! My workplace has a “bike club” that recently purchased a Park Tools kit, pump, bike stand and some other necessities for our bike commuters to use. Same problem here with small city apartments. I used it already when I had a flat on my rear tire one day….always a pain with fenders getting it lined up again!
