Had an awesome time! Seeing the city like this is the way to go. I would do this everytime I visit Austin. So cool
This a MUST tour in Austin! They have different tours of Downtown and we choose the Food Truck tour. There are so many food trucks for all types cuisines. You learn a little of the history of Austin, eat great food and ride a bike. The staff is super cool and they take great pictures for free! They welcomed us with plenty of water bottles, bandanas for some coolness and some gloves. As for Cope, he is fun and knows all the spots to have fun. I will definitely ride again.
We came to town on business. We were able to escape and ride the tour. Our guide Rooster (Patrick) was incredible! It was safe, fun, and you’re able to learn a lot about the city. It is a beautiful place and the bike allows you to get around easily and experience many great sights.
This was SOOOOOO much fun! My husband and son absolutely love anything on two wheels (segways excluded :)) What a great way to see the city of Austin, and learn some of the history. Our guide, Joseph was amazing, incredibly patient and very knowledgeable. This was definitely the biggest highlight of our first trip to Texas! They make sure you are comfortable and have a working knowledge of the bikes before you head out. I really couldn't think of a better way to see this amazing city and learn something along the way. This is a "must do" if you visit the Austin area!
I'm local, so I'll be back. I took my (70something) mom on a 9 a.m. vaguely-themed YBG tour (they offer some that are focused on specific aspects of Austin -- this one was more the general one) because it was her birthday and we had guests coming in to town and she still hasn't been downtown much. I expected the usual high points, just on a bike, and that would have been cool. What I got was a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide (Patrick) who took us on a tour that was an awesome combination of the usual high points and some fascinating side trips. (Dude knows a lot about all kinds of minutae, including chicken and tattoos and local plants and Texas history -- it totally didn't surprise me that he was a teacher in a past life!) We went places that I didn't know existed and had a blast. So, two thumbs up. And I would think this tour would be fine for almost anyone -- I drove because my mom gets nervous, but we were on easily operated, well maintained bikes and took safe, medium-traffic routes, and she totally could've handled it as well. Our fellow tour takers varied from college students on Spring break to, well, my mom. So anyone would enjoy it. And it's a pretty good deal for 2ish hours of really good guidance. Do it -- you'll be glad you did. More
My wife really enjoyed her surprise birthday ride around the city of Austin. The gang guide was amazing.
There's no need to know how to ride a motorcycle, if you can ride a bicycle, you can do this + they'll teach you at the beginning how to properly ride it.
We saw this tour was rated 5-Stars and couldn't agree more. Tyler did a great job of pulling together a group of experienced riders and beginners - locals and out-of-towners -everyone had a great time. He took us from SoCo to the Capitol and east to west - stopping at interesting spots along the way.
We booked this in the early part of our Austin trip to get a little layout and introduction to the area. It was SXSW and the town was getting crazy. Our guide gave us some quick lessons, and we were off seeing local sites like Lady Bird Lake and the Willie Nelson Statue. During this trip we rode B cycles, jump scooters, and pedi cabs but this was the most fun. People we encountered would ask where they could rent these. These were for 2 hour tours but it would be fantastic to rent these by the day! FUN!
We took some extended family on the "Your Biker Gang" tour and had a great time! We learned a lot of cool things about Austin and enjoyed touring the city in a completely new way.
Despite Biker Gang office burned down previous night, they still continue our bike Food Truck Tour. Had a lot of fun and Patrick was great!!
