We had a blast with our road captain, Peanut !! These bikes are awesome and he hit all the hot spots in downtown. Highly recommend !!
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
Our group of 8 adults (6 drivers and 2 riders) recently had a blast touring downtown Austin with Patrick, a former elementary school teacher turned biker dude. After making sure we all felt comfortable on our bikes before heading out, he said his three goals for the day were safety, education, and fun, and he exceeded our expectations in every area.In addition to the standard Austin downtown landmarks, he also pointed out lesser-known sights including a flock of Mexican parakeets sporting bright green plumage as well as their incredible public library, which we visited at his suggestion after the tour was over. (Best library ever! If you have time, go check out the views from the gorgeous outdoor lounging area at the top of the building as well as the innovative features of the actual library, including a kiosk that will dispense random reading material based on the amount of time you have to read. Wow!)The Voodoo Donuts stop halfway through the tour was a well-timed and delicious break, and the cooler bags full of ice-cold water he provided at the YBG location came in handy. Besides being a knowledgeable tour guide, Patrick is also a great photographer, and he captured the day in numerous pics (group and individual ones) to help us remember this wonderful experience. Since our accommodations for the week were actually in San Antonio, we only spent one day in Austin, and I can’t think of a better introduction to the city than cruising around it with Patrick. Don’t think twice – BOOK THIS TOUR!
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!!
Great tour, very knowledgeable road captain, smart idea, super safe, amazing city and a lot of fun for all!
I brought 7 of my Team members and we had a blast. What a great team building event and the Customer Service was excellent. All of us will return again and even bring our Family! I would highly recommend this as a fun event and Team Building event.
We had a fantastic trip with our guide Cope, it was very informative and fun. My entire family had an awesome time.
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!
If you are planning a trip to Austin, do not miss this fun filled "biker tour" of Austin. Your hosts will make sure you are comfortable riding the mini-bikes. Tyler and Justin were both awesome instructors and tour guides.
We had the best time on our bike tour! Our office went for our Christmas outing and had more fun than we even expected! Tyler was our guide and made our trip so memorable. We had a wide range of ages and abilities and everyone was able to learn quickly and feel safe. We HIGHLY recommend this activity for anyone looking to do something fun in downtown Austin and have already been referring friends! Thank you Your Biker Gang and Tyler for such a great time!
We were only in Austin 2 days and wanted to see a good bit of the city. Tyler made sure we saw some really cool scenes, took some cool pictures and kept us laughing. It was really cold out so we were going to rethink going but I’m glad we did it!!
