We saw the great reviews and decided to give it a try and had a blast. Great tour guide (Patrick) gave us a brief but effective training session and we were off! Super fun and easy to ride and saw some really cool sites of 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
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!
Had a fantastic time zooming around Austin on a guided tour. The guides were great fun and very knowledgable and the bikes are so much fun to ride. 100% recommend this activity. Brilliant!
My friends and I were i Austin for a girls trip- we had read great reviews about the biker gang tour- the reviews were spot on as it was fantastic! Our guide Tyler took our group to the capital, a fabulous view of the city skyline, pointed out historical buildings and so much more! I had done a bus tour a few days prior but I saw so much more on the “motorcycle”! A must do in Austin for sure!
Highly recommend and will absolutely schedule with family and friends again. Cope was the best! Down to earth, fun and made the ride a real adventure!!
Our guide was Tyler and he was perfect. Knowledgeable, helpful and fun; seriously great at his job. It was a gorgeous day and, after our training, we felt completely comfortable on the bikes. We saw a lot of the town and loved the experience. It was one of our favorite parts of our trip. I would go on another ride if there was one near where I live. Thank you again! Catherine
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!
My parents were visiting and this was the perfect way to show them around the city. A comfortable ride and friendly, thoughtful outgoing tour guides made this the highlight of our trip! We did the morning ride which was nice because it was cooler and traffic was lighter. I highly recommend this excursion over pedalhoppers or segways (I’ve done both). Tyler and Reagan were our guides and were GREAT. Knowledgeable, fun, and also mindful to keep our large group out of the ways of cars, joggers and other bikers. Book with them if you can!
Tyler was an awesome instructor, great arvo full of fun, smiles & lots of beeping!! Definitely recommend for anyone that heads to Austin.
Cope (biker name Peanut) was a great guide! We learned some cool things about Austin, his music was on point and he was fun to be with. The bikes were pretty easy to maneuver too. We got tons of looks and hi fives from random people and even some from real bikers. We felt really cool! The water and seat cover were a nice and necessary touch. Well done!
