This ride was so much fun! Joe, our Road Captain, made sure everyone stayed safe AND had fun. (As a mom/teacher I know firsthand how challenging it can be to keep those two in balance...LOL) I cannot say enough about how enjoyable this was. My only regret is that we did the ride towards the end of our trip. Doing this ride the first day would have given us a better perspective of Austin and a list of things/places we would have loved going back to. So my advice would be: Go join the bike gang as soon as you touch down in Austin.
This was the best! The guide Justin, was funny, enthusiastic, and a great picture taker. We did a girls weekend and did the regular tour, it was the best part of our trip. They take you thru some practice runs to get use to the bike and then out on the road! With the music the guide plays and wearing ya shades, you can’t help but feel cool! I’ll definitely do this again, I hope they open one in dallas someday.
We had a great, safe ride that was fun and full of laughs. Tyler built team spirit right away. We had a quick practice, and off to the city! The ride was smooth and easy and it was great to meet new people. Truck stop was great. Good food, quick so you can jump back on to the reason for the ride. I would recommend this trip to everyone. I have lived in Autin for 8 years and didn't know about it. I will take evrey visitor on this trip from now on.
Tyler did an incredible job! He was professional, entertaining and energetic all at the same time while keeping the ride on time. I got be truthful and say I was super excited for the adventure and the event turned out better than my expectations! I hope I can book another adventure with Tyler in the future!
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
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.
Amazing ride to see the city of Austin! Loved tour guide Patrick! Amazing food trucks! Highly recommend for anyone visiting this fun city!
A great time and a perfect way to make a tour in the City. Easy, funny and Tyler was our guide and he is really nice!
My mom and I had so much fun with this tour! Patrick was a blast and the tour was like nothing I've ever done. Highly recommend for anyone with a little sense of adventure. Plan on doing it again when I'm in San Antonio, I enjoyed it that much. Give it a try you won't be disappointed!
My wife really enjoyed her surprise birthday ride around the city of Austin. The gang guide was amazing.
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!
