Enjoyed our private ride this weekend through Austin. The weather wasn't too accommodating but that didn't stop us from seeing all that Austin has to offer. The guys were well informed and did a great job showing us the sights. They even improvised along the way to let us warm up our fingers and toes on a very cold day! Would highly recommend The Biker Gang to all for 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
We saw the yourbikergang.wpengine.com group while driving in Austin. Decided it was something we would enjoy-and we did! Our guide-Joseph was knowledgeable and funny and the tour was great. We saw places in Austin that we would not have seen on our own. Was thankful the tour went on less traveled roads but overall wasn't bad riding in the city. The bikes are easy to handle and they make sure you can prior to starting the tour with practice in an adjacent parking lot. Would recommend! Can't wait to find another city to tour with yourbikergang.wpengine.com!
More than a real sightseeing tour of any heft, this was more a chilled out bike ride. But if you haven't ridden on one of these types of fat wheel electric bikes, it's quite fun. Worth the cost if you're two people on one bike.
Signed up for this as a way to see Austin and do a good tour. After some patient training we took off. Tyler, our guide, was excellent, and safety was always a priority! We signed up for the food truck tour and were a bit surprised that we didn’t visit more and the one visit was optional. I think there could be more clarity in what the tour is and is not. Overall, we would highly recommend this as an option to see the city!!
This is a great fun way to see the city of Austin! Tyler was a really good informative, interactive & fun tour guide! I would highly recommend this tour if you to spend a couple of fun hours in Austin!
What a fun way to see the city. Our road captain, Joseph, made sure we had a full safety briefing and training before hitting the road. I’m in a cast for a broken wrist so was a passenger. Would have been comfortable as the driver otherwise. Loved seeing the Hope Outdoor Gallery before it gets torn down. Definitely would recommend this to anyone.
This is a must. Your Biker Gang tour takes you around the city on electric mini bikes. We had a blast with our guide Tyler. He was so much fun! This is a fabulous way to see the city, art, and get in some photo ops. Was the best thing we did in Austin.
Our guide was Tyler and he was perfect. Knowledgeable, helpful and fun; seriously great at his job. It was a gorgeous day and, after our training, we felt completely comfortable on the bikes. We saw a lot of the town and loved the experience. It was one of our favorite parts of our trip. I would go on another ride if there was one near where I live. Thank you again! Catherine
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
We had an amazing tour today! Tyler was a fantastic guide. We saw the city, laughed so much and enjoyed the stop at the food trucks midway. Our guide was a true city expert, and very entertaining the whole time! You have to do this if you're in town. The bikes get lots of attention - people you pass will be waving and smiling at you. Check it out!
