This turned out to be such a cool and unique experience that was fun for my whole family. We saw many different places and sites around Austin that we might not have seen just looking around on our own. The bikes were comfortable and very easy to operate. I was a little hesitant at first with how busy it is in the area and having my 8 year-old on one of the bikes...but Cope, our amazing Road Captain kept us all together and made sure everything was super safe and controlled throughout the tour! She and all my older boys absolutely 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
Bike tour was the highlight of our trip to Austin. Patrick and Tyler were terrific guides and teachers, making everything safe and fun. Got to see so much of the city, including great food at a food truck stop. I cannot think of a more fun way to see the city and have fun for 2+ hours. My 17 & 22 year old sons loved it too.
Our totally uncool, non-biking group of 50 year old guys had a reunion weekend in Austin. This tour was definitely a highlight of the trip. Started promptly and was all that it promised. Our group captain and guide, Tyler, was informative, funny and engaging. Even the least-balanced rider had a blast! A must-do if you're looking for an outdoor activity to see and get the feel of this amazing 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.
Okay, a blast! Of course I love motoring around the city on a mini bike, crossing bridges, drinking espresso coffee by the river, but at first ai was wondering....is this safe? I was bringing my daughter who I let ride alone, and after a few minutes of deep breaths realized how safe Tyler our guide was so after that I realized and had a blast? Of course you should do it, what are you waiting for?!
My wife and I had a great time riding the fat wheel electric bikes. We were the only two in our group so we received a personal tour from our guide Tyler, he's awesome! Tyler was informative, patient, and funny he definitely made the experience worth while.
Fun way to drive around Austin and see the sites. We had a really fun tour guide that made sure everyone was having a good time and was trained on the bikes. He also took a lot of pictures of all of us.
Your Biker Gang was an awesome experience for my group! The Road Captains were absolutely incredible, and they tailored the tour to our interests. They provided water for the trip and made sure that everyone was drinking plenty to stay hydrated on the ride. They continually took pictures during the ride and had them posted for us within 10 minutes of completing our ride. Riding around town is fun all on its own, but the Road Captains made it so much more entertaining and engaging. Our group was pretty skilled in terms of riding, so we got to hit all of the major spots plus a number of smaller, lesser known ones because we moved pretty quickly. I highly recommend Your Biker Gang for travelers and even those that live in the city. You get a great broad tour, but you also get to see things that even most locals probably don't know about. I can't recommend this enough!
Last week we had a group of nine guys ride mopeds at your company and we have a blast! It was my friend's bachelor party and we had the greatest time ever riding around the city and getting a tour from this nice young couple. We couldn't thank you enough for the experience and a big smiles. By the way, the couple that run this shop are the coolest cats ever!
A great way to see Austin! So much Fun! Our guide, Dennis, was absolutely delightful! Highly recommend.
