We arrived from Germany spending a couple days around Austin and Round Rock. We found the yourbikerbang.com in the top 50s things to do in Austix,TX. I must say the organisation and experience was really superb. Every Team member went out of their way to make everyone fell comfortable during the ride. I really wished every great City would have this kind of tour.A big "Danke Schön" from Germany.
Our family was super fortunate to have Kyle as our guide.Our adventure was amazing! He was big on safety, very knowledgeable about Austin, took many photos for us, and was incredibly funny and entertaining!! We really enjoyed seeing the bats, the Austin skyline all lit up and just cruising around the city at night. The BEST!
This was a very fun, and very engaging experience. They give you a quick crash course on how to ride their electric bikes, and make you feel comfortable before they take you out on the streets. Overall, I would do this again. Fun, Safe, and Engaging. Thanks for a great time guys, it was a pleasure, and I hope to be back again. Absolute aces, and earned the 5 stars.
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
This is an amazing experience!! It is not just a fun experience but it is very educational! I am 73 and my wife is 63! WE didn't have any problems with the bikes! Our guide Gator ( John ) was an 11 on a ten scale! He could write a book on customer service! WE were laughing most of the time! You even get to give yourself biker names! Of course my wife came up with Mutt and Jeff and I was MUTT!!! We are going again when we go to Austin in the Spring!! Thanks GATOR!!!
My friends and I had a blast on this tour. Tyler was hilarious and very knowledgeable about the city. He also gave us some great recommendations. I will definitely tell anyone going to Austin they need to experience this tour.
We had a blast. These are fun and funny. We were in town for a wedding/family reunion and one of the family members saw this and thought it would be fun and it turned out to be a blast!
An awesome way to tour. Be ready for fun! Gang leader “Gator” was a total showman (and his music selection was perfect)! People on the street seemed to like it almost as much as us (they whipped out there phones to get us on video). Plus, we learned a lot at our stops/locations. A smooth ride and a must do!
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 SOOOOOO much fun! My husband and son absolutely love anything on two wheels (segways excluded :)) What a great way to see the city of Austin, and learn some of the history. Our guide, Joseph was amazing, incredibly patient and very knowledgeable. This was definitely the biggest highlight of our first trip to Texas! They make sure you are comfortable and have a working knowledge of the bikes before you head out. I really couldn't think of a better way to see this amazing city and learn something along the way. This is a "must do" if you visit the Austin area!
Listen, I’m not a “tour guy”. The last tour I can recall doing was Alcatraz when I was 12. But, let me tell you - This was a BLAST! The tour guides are very knowledgeable, the bikes are a blast to ride (and VERY easy to learn), and our 7 year old twins loved getting to ride with us. Whether you’re local or a tourist, go do this. You’ll have a great time.
