Tour guide made it so easy to follow and enjoy the ride. Tour takes you through many points of interest where you can get off and take pics. The elec bikes were so much fun to ride, loved it.
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
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.
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 went today for our first time and it was awesome. We had Tyler as our guide and his personality and energy was great! We loved every freaking bit of our tour. It was freezing and yet no part of the tour made us care about how cold it was because he was great! I would recommend them to any and everyone!!! Thanks for an awesome tour!
My friend and I were visiting Austin for a fun weekend. We were waiting to watch the bats fly out from the bridge when the biker gang drove by honking their horns, shouting, and overall having a great time. Immediately, we signed up online. Tyler, our guide was an amazing tour guide, that knew everything about Austin. The bikes are easy to ride, and the feeling over cruising through town on a cool motorbike was amazing. Tyler took awesome pictures which were provided to us afterwards and even took us to some new places around town. We stopped and ate lunch at one of the local food trucks, which provided a nice opportunity to talk to Tyler and enjoy some delicious food!I would highly recommend this activity to everyone. Definitely sign up for your own bike, as it's exciting to be able to drive yourself around town! SO MUCH FUN!! More
We had a very fun morning ride with with our son and daughter-in-law and several other nice "gang members" we just met on the ride. Tyler was our Gang Leader and he was a hoot. He takes his job seriously when it comes to safety of the riders, but he makes sure to inject lots of humor and local color into his tours. It was great fun and we'd recommend it highly. We saw some sights in and views of downtown we probably would not have seen otherwise. He was good about taking requests for specific things people wanted to see (murals, Stevie Ray Vaughan statue, etc.). Thanks for a great time, Tyler! More
I had as much fun as I did the day before in San Antonio with Sean (aka Peanut, ) Rode in a group of 7 plus captain. Can't believe how much fun you can have on one of these. Believe me if I ever get back that way I will be taking another tour. Thanks guys.
Wow! What a great way to see Austin. Great tour and a lot of fun. We toured the city and had a a chance to have fun on the electric bikes!
I am a true native Austinite and this was one of the FUNNEST adventures I have done in this city. I was sad when it was over. We are definitely going back and doing this again. Maybe the night tour next time. Our gang leader (ride captain) was Tyler. Wow! Right guy for the job. He was SO funny and made this the best experience. Thank you Tyler and Biker Gang!!!
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!!!
