The ride was awesome and we saw some really cool things about a new city. I would totally suggest anyone heading to Austin check into this!
We showed up for our tour and found we were a gang of only 3 -- us (Blade and Alli-gator) and Rooster. Rooster was a teacher in a previous life and it shows. He's a smart guy who is really good at his job. We had a great time, covered a lot of downtown Austin, learned a lot, and even stopped off for a snack and rest along the way. The bikes are really easy to use, and Sunday morning could not have been a more perfect time to be out and about. I definitely recommend this tour for a good taste of Austin.
Our annual girls weekend landed us in Austin where we by luck discovered, Your Biker Gang. Patrick, our uber-friendly guide (and former elementary school teacher), gave us quick but thorough instructions, then took the four of us (plus the other four riders in our tour) around the city's top points of interest - safely weaving us in, out and through Austin's eclectic/funky hot spots. It was a perfect mix of everything - down to Patrick's little bike speaker playing Bob Marley along the route. It was a great intro to the city and helped us put together our game plan for the rest of the weekend.
Since we arrived Tyler, our captain for the visit, was very attentive, trying to make our experience the best. Fun ride through Austin downtown, with a stop for lunch at Torchy’s (ask Tyler to take you there). Riding the bikes is safe and easy, even for people without experience. The sights are wonderful, this tour is highly recommended.
We were a group of three couples, and had a great time on this tour. It was unique, a fun way to see the City, and got to some places we otherwise would not have seen which was great. I would recommend this tour for anyone!
Our guide was Justin. He was funny and informative. This was by far my kids most favorite part of the whole Austin trip. The bikes went as fast as I could handle and not 1 mph over. The rock and roll music that was played while we cruised was so extra!!! I loved the extra detail!!
Our ride was so much fun! Dennis was our guide and was very informative and personable. The weather was great and we just had a good time riding around the city looking AND being looked at by others! We did a couple other tourist attractions, but this was by far the most fun. Highly recommend to all ages. My husband is in his 60's and me in my 50's. Haven't done anything like this in years...
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!!!
We had a great trip on our electric bikes round the Austin area. I was a little concerned about riding around on the streets, but it was fine. Learned about some statues, murals, and buildings!
My daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. it was informative and very fun thanks to our guide, john. I highly recommend this as a great way to see Austin
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
