Local resident Mike, who lives less than 2 minutes walk away was the first paying customer.
The children's section is almost as big as the old shop!
No shortage of refreshments, that's for sure.
Rebellion Beer at 9am? Don't mind if i do.

It was a frosty start to the day... but the shop was still filling up quickly.
What a shop and much more! Have been going to Saddle Safari since it started. We have been pleased with all our purchases & bike services. I recently resorted to an electric bike which gets me home and up the big hill, storming past queuing cars and Lycra man..I would recommend to anyone whose knees are past their best! When you buy locally you can be sure of great after sales service too which is essential. Thank you Saddle Safari!
