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.
Jon was a great guide. He has a wealth of knowledge and make this biker gang tour awesome! We went as a family with adult children and had a blast!
This was my second ride and it was just as awesome as the first. John was an incredible tour guide and kept things upbeat and fun, even when a couple people on the ride struggled to ride the bikes and felt a bit uneasy. It's such a great way to see some sights and do something different and unique and I cannot say enough about how great every employee at Your Biker Gang has been. They reach out prior to the ride to make sure you don't have any questions, provide water and sunscreen, and are just the coolest group of people. We went to a few different spots than on the first ride which really made it feel like a completely new experience. If you have a couple hours to spare (and you should because this is totally worth it), book a ride. This is now one of my go-to things to do when friends visit. The memories are unforgettable and the guides take great pictures they make available to everyone for free. More
Amazing experience. The tour guide was very friendly, made it a fun and safe experience. Learnt a lot about the downtown.
So glad we did this while visiting Austin. I enjoyed the small group setting and fun tour guide. Was able to get some great photo ops that we wouldn't have been able to get otherwise.
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 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.
This is hands down the best tour to take when visiting Austin! We had so much fun! It was like getting your first electric car toy when you were a kid at Christmas (Mine was a red Jeep) and now as an adult I got the same feeling with this fat tire electric bike! It was super easy to ride. We took the morning tour which started at 9 AM. Our tour guides Tyler and Cope were amazing! They showed us must see places in Austin and were really knowledgeable about the city. On our tour we saw The capital from afar, drove by the governors house, stopped at graffiti hills, showed us cool buildings and architecture downtown and some awesome art work and sculptures. Most importantly they did a great job keeping everyone safe and together. It’s not easy leading a pack of newbie electric bike riders around the streets of Austin Tx but they made it seem effortless. I highly recommend this and I plan to do this again every time I get near Austin! I really hope this business will open locations in other cities because I would go to them all!! Don’t forget to wear sunblock and sunglasses! And tennis shoes would probably be the best option for this activity.
Team event and it was awesome!!! The bikes were easy to ride and the tour was great! Will definitely do this again!
The experience itself was amazing! Pair that with a great tour guide, the fun city of Austin and it is out of this world! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to do a tour of the city. It's a very creative twist of getting around (instead of boring tour buses).
This is a must tour! Forget about walking! Ride in style and and a unique adventure for sure, we enjoyed it.
