Fantastic quality bike tour! Electric Fat Wheel bikes! Easy to handle, comfortable to ride, and with the guide a very very safe activity! I would love to do it again!
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!
What fun! This is a must while in Austin. Gramps (Tyler) was a fun and energetic tour guide. Because of this tour we went to the city library, which is beautiful, and so unique. We never would have gone to the library! Just Do It!
Tyler was our tour guide and he was hilarious, fun and super entertaining. We took our kids with us (6 & 8) and they loved every second of it. I highly recommend doing this if you are visiting Austin! You wont regret it!
We had a great time getting the “lay of the land” by cruising around the city with the gang while listening to music. Patrick quickly taught us how to safely operate our electric cycles and then led us to various spots for photo opportunities or interesting city history. We did the city tour and would do the food truck tour the next time. (Patrick...One small suggestion, add ‘Born to be Wild’ to your music playlist. )
These are fun to drive, easy to drive & are a great way to tour the downtown area of Austin! We had family in town from Wisconsin & this was an amazing interactive way to get everyone around! Tyler, our tour guide, added fun and energy to the tour! If you're weary of not knowing how to ride this bike, don't be. We all learned the day of and were on the road in 15 minutes!
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...
We had an amazing time! Our tour guide, Tyler was awesome!! He was knowledgeable, fun, and VERY PATIENT! He is the absolute best!
My mom and I had so much fun with this tour! Patrick was a blast and the tour was like nothing I've ever done. Highly recommend for anyone with a little sense of adventure. Plan on doing it again when I'm in San Antonio, I enjoyed it that much. Give it a try you won't be disappointed!
By far, the highlight of our weekend getaway was driving these bikes around town touring the city. They are very easy to get used to and the guys at Your Biker Gang are very helpful and very nice people! Will definitely be back and I recommend 100% if you are planning a trip to 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
