Our tour was Friday morning during SXSW week - weather was perfect... Our tour guide was Patrick, he was GREAT, friendly and informative. I learned several factoids about Austin. We will definitely do it again, but next time will try the food truck tour. Great activity for families of all ages.
First, the day was very hot, mid 90's. Biker Gang supplied us water and reminded us to keep hydrated. This was very good. Patrick was our group leader and was a fun and knowledgeable guide. The route was fun and informative considering it was just a two hour experience. We stopped several times for photo ops. My only suggestion would be for perhaps a little more practice time, but I was probably the slowest of our group of 6 to pick up the driving of the scooters. I just turned 60 and it's been a while since I've been on a bike and also had no clue about using a hand throttle. Even so, a very fun time!
This experience is a blast! Where else can you lean back on your own fat boy and cruise the City without a license to ride? Granted, they top out at 20mph and your guide takes pretty good care to make sure you don't end up in crazy bad traffic.We went out on the morning trek with Justin. He did a great job teaching us the basics before we hit the road. It is important to remember this is a 'tour', not just a ride. Consequently, you make several stops during the tour to dismount, chat and take pictures. In addition, you only move as fast as the slowest rider. Unfortunately, they don't subscribe to the theory of Survival of the Fittest.Justin did a fine job explaining little factoids about the city as we tolled around. Our group was most interested in scenery and music, so those are the sites that he spent most of his time on. The only regret I have is I would have liked the option of cruising around a bit on my own at the end and just letting the bike fly down the streets. I think 20 miles per hour may be understating the performance of these beasts, but we never really had a chance to find out. More
What a fun way to see the city. Our guide, Rooster, was so patient and fun. He had some great stories to share, took a lot of photos of us in cool places, and he kept us safe! This is one of the best tours I’ve been on. So glad we did it!
We arrived from Germany spending a couple days around Austin and Round Rock. We found the yourbikerbang.com in the top 50s things to do in Austix,TX. I must say the organisation and experience was really superb. Every Team member went out of their way to make everyone fell comfortable during the ride. I really wished every great City would have this kind of tour.A big "Danke Schön" from Germany.
Our tour guide was awesome! Very enthusiastic and was knowlegeable about the area. He was funny, and had great charisma :)
Awesome guides! A great way to tour Austin. I highly recommend this tour with family, friends or riding solo!
This was by far the highlight of our trip! SO MUCH FUN!!! The 2 guys, Peanut and Gator, were excellent. Fun and funny and knowledgeable. First off, they took us through how to ride the bike. Very safety conscious. And were very attentive throughout the tour checking in with us to make sure we were ok. Once I got over my initial nervousness of riding the bike (I've never ridden one before) I relaxed and it was easy to ride. Seriously, not hard at all. And I'm a small woman, only 5' tall and had no trouble whatsoever. And then we were off on the streets of downtown Austin. We stopped throughout the 2 hour tour for Peanut to shows us stuff as we went. There were 8 people in our "gang". And honestly the funnest and best thing we did in Austin. I can't recommend it enough!!!
After finding these guys on the net before leaving the UK we booked three of us in for a 9am tour ( approx 2.5 hours ).We turned up at HQ and were greater by Tyler ,he was extremely friendly, enthusiastic and warmly welcoming , after showing us round the bikes and explaining the controls we were taken to an of road area where Tyler made sure we had control before we went on the road.The tour was fantastic fun, extremely good and a brilliant way of having a guided tour of the city ( with an extremely knowledgeable guide )this is a must do tour that will make your smile a mile wide ,do it or miss out.
We had a blast with the "Your Biker Gang" food truck tour of Austin. Coop (aka "Peanut") was an amazing guide- helping everyone get the hang of riding the bikes, playing awesome music during the ride, and bringing a ton of energy and fun to the whole experience. The bikes were an amazing way to see the city- really fun to ride, got to cover a lot of ground. Did this with a few coworkers on a biz trip, and we all had a great time. Highly recommend!
Your Biker Gang was an awesome experience for my group! The Road Captains were absolutely incredible, and they tailored the tour to our interests. They provided water for the trip and made sure that everyone was drinking plenty to stay hydrated on the ride. They continually took pictures during the ride and had them posted for us within 10 minutes of completing our ride. Riding around town is fun all on its own, but the Road Captains made it so much more entertaining and engaging. Our group was pretty skilled in terms of riding, so we got to hit all of the major spots plus a number of smaller, lesser known ones because we moved pretty quickly. I highly recommend Your Biker Gang for travelers and even those that live in the city. You get a great broad tour, but you also get to see things that even most locals probably don't know about. I can't recommend this enough!
