We did this to celebrate two of our family members' birthdays. We all grew up here, but learned some new information on the ride! It's a great way to see the heart of the city. Cope and Reagan did a fantastic job with our sizeable group. Once I got over my initial anxiety about riding (and turning haha), it was sooo much fun! And the bikes are super easy to ride, which was the only way my husband will do anything fun with me! It can't be too strenuous for him, and it definitely wasn't. Everyone loved it - we highly recommend them. You won't regret it!
I highly recommend this tour! Our guide Peanut was amazing, full of energy, and full of fun facts about the city!
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!
It was a lot of fun! Cole was a great guide. I will do this again when family comes to visit. We learned a lot.
My son and I rode the electric bike Austin tour yesterday. Patrick was knowledgeable and friendly and we got to see a lot of Austin. It’s a lot of fun for 2 hours. I’d give it 5 stars without the accident.Be careful though, these bikes can slip out from under you on loose gravel. This happened to me after visiting graffiti park. Heading down a steep hill, my bike slid out on some gravel and down I went. My knee is hurt and I have some pretty severe scrapes. It would have been great for us to go single file down the hill, but that wasn’t the guidance from our guide. Your biker gang should really take that part of the tour out of their route. It didn’t appear that Patrick had a first aid kit on him for such occurrences. I was offered two moist towelettes and band aids to hold me over until we got back to their location 10 mins away.I suggest you be very careful and consider the insurance and keep to the middle of the lanes away from debris on the roads. Fun time, but the bikes are heavy and can slip out on you on loose gravel. More
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
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!
WOW! A great way to take alook at Austin! Fun ride and friendly/helpful staff. Returning home to San Antonio where we will ride AGAIN with them! Try 'em you won't regret it!
Rooster was an amazing guide. He brought fun tunes, showed us hidden gems throughout our city and took amazing pics for us to always remember our experience while also making safety his priority!! This tour made my birthday day extraordinary in light of social distancing!!!
Visiting Austin for our wedding anniversary and the hotel conceirge suggested this as something fun to do. After a few minutes of training and laughing all the way we set out on the town. The guides make this experience, no question, filling the time with interesting facts and tidbits about Austin history. The best part is they do it with humor and make the 2 hours really enjoyable and light. Tyler and the gang have it going on so don’t hesitate to get your swerve on. People all over town were cheering us on and smiling with us! Suggestions are strong use of the horn, smiling, and a little sense of humor. Have fun!! We certainly did!
Me and my daughter had an amazing time! Patrick was super chill and friendly. Definitely coming again with more family and friends. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
