Had an amazing time! Rooster was a very knowledgeable tour guide and catered the ride to what we wanted to see. I would definitely do it again and hope that this becomes available in other cities.
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
The thought of riding an electrically powered bike was a little weird so fitting for Austin the weird city, but boy was it great. The whole experience from start to finish made it just fun and more fun. The gang leader Joeseph made our day and tour of Austin seemed to fly past with great interesting pointers and history. So I suggest to biker gang get more bikes because this is a must for anyone that follows trip advisor for looking up fun stuff to do. Enjoy
This is the best way to see the city and feel cool all at the same time!! Much better than Segway tour as you dont feel like such a geek and learn about the city!
4 of us 40 somethings got a lay of the land in the Austin downtown area on a Saturday morning. We had an excellent guide and were taken to 4 or 5 amazing spots for pictures. One of the stops include a French style coffee shop and the chocolate croissants were fantastic. Definitely recommend.
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 :)
This was a great fun way to see Austin. The guides were really fun and informative. The bikes were a blast and we learned interesting stuff about the city.
As an Austinite, we will definitely bring our future guests on this adventure - great mix of murals and landmarks. We had such a wonderful time!!
Our tour guide “Gator” (John) made our tour so much fun!!! I highly recommend this tour! Your Biker Gang!!
This was my second ride and it was just as awesome as the first. John was an incredible tour guide and kept things upbeat and fun, even when a couple people on the ride struggled to ride the bikes and felt a bit uneasy. It's such a great way to see some sights and do something different and unique and I cannot say enough about how great every employee at Your Biker Gang has been. They reach out prior to the ride to make sure you don't have any questions, provide water and sunscreen, and are just the coolest group of people. We went to a few different spots than on the first ride which really made it feel like a completely new experience. If you have a couple hours to spare (and you should because this is totally worth it), book a ride. This is now one of my go-to things to do when friends visit. The memories are unforgettable and the guides take great pictures they make available to everyone for free. More
Patrick was fantastic! We got to see Austin in a very fun and informative way. We would recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see/experience Austin.
