we loved riding around on the bikes- very fun. And our leader was fantastic- Gator... very knowledgeable about the city, history and the local folklore... he was amicable, funny and patient :)
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
It was a awesome experience riding the bikes all around town. Literally easy to ride. Our guide Cope was a lot of fun and quite informative on historical sites and events around town. Would do it again fo sho
This turned out to be such a cool and unique experience that was fun for my whole family. We saw many different places and sites around Austin that we might not have seen just looking around on our own. The bikes were comfortable and very easy to operate. I was a little hesitant at first with how busy it is in the area and having my 8 year-old on one of the bikes...but Cope, our amazing Road Captain kept us all together and made sure everything was super safe and controlled throughout the tour! She and all my older boys absolutely loved it!
Patrick was our guide and he did a fantastic job making things fun, taking us to a great food truck park (with excellent recommendations) and then all across downtown to take pictures at the famous murals. We had the BEST time!! I will be taking all my friends, and kids! Such a fun way to see Austin!
We had 7 people raning in age from 16 to 62 years and all of us agree it was the best thing we did. Rooster was our guide and after a short lesson we were off to explore Austin. We learnt about the city - saw the sights and got to ride the very cool bikes. Rooster kneew the best spots to stop and take pictures. It was great to be part of a biker gang!!!!!
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.
Our tour guide Jon was incredible! This was the highlight of our four days in Austin. We got to see and learn so much of the city- not to mention that our guide gave us some golden recommendations for the rest of our time in Austin. The bikes were soooo fun and easy to learn. Jon showed us the best kept secrets for pictures and hidden gem art installations. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the city or even just a local wanting to see it in a new way. Such a great experience!
Tyler has a great energy and he is an amazing motivational speaker. One of our teams mates had a hard time and didn't want to ride but Tyler talked to her for 2 mins and she was all in afterwards and she did a great job! It was sooo fun and never felt unsafe
What an awesome adventure!!! Rooster was the best with me and my fiancé. He made sure we were safe and were having a great time. We also got some amazing photos on the adventure!! Will be coming back for a night ride soon!
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!
