We were here in October and had a great time. Everyone was friendly, informative and so welcoming. The tour was so fun and you saw so much of the downtown. Riding the bikes is easier than it looks and a great alternative to your standard, boring bus tour. Our guide was fun, engaging and informative. Our group ranged in ages from 22-49 and we all loved it.
Our totally uncool, non-biking group of 50 year old guys had a reunion weekend in Austin. This tour was definitely a highlight of the trip. Started promptly and was all that it promised. Our group captain and guide, Tyler, was informative, funny and engaging. Even the least-balanced rider had a blast! A must-do if you're looking for an outdoor activity to see and get the feel of this amazing city.
This is just the best way to get a feel for the city! It was great fun picking our "biker names," gearing up for the ride, hopping on the bikes and establishing our presence on the roads of Austin! We had a blast!... "Rooster" was the best guide... very fun and funny, very knowledgeable about the city, and very attentive to make sure we were all comfortable and safe! If you're in Austin... Do this!
This a great activity to do with friends and have a good time. We had Justin for our biker gang tour and he was fantastic.
This experience is a blast! Where else can you lean back on your own fat boy and cruise the City without a license to ride? Granted, they top out at 20mph and your guide takes pretty good care to make sure you don't end up in crazy bad traffic.We went out on the morning trek with Justin. He did a great job teaching us the basics before we hit the road. It is important to remember this is a 'tour', not just a ride. Consequently, you make several stops during the tour to dismount, chat and take pictures. In addition, you only move as fast as the slowest rider. Unfortunately, they don't subscribe to the theory of Survival of the Fittest.Justin did a fine job explaining little factoids about the city as we tolled around. Our group was most interested in scenery and music, so those are the sites that he spent most of his time on. The only regret I have is I would have liked the option of cruising around a bit on my own at the end and just letting the bike fly down the streets. I think 20 miles per hour may be understating the performance of these beasts, but we never really had a chance to find out. More
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!
Joining this biker gang is a must! Tyler, our road captain was so funny, fun and full of energy from the moment he greeted us. He made sure we were all comfortable; he was encouraging every step of the way. He was constantly telling jokes and making us laugh. He kept a smile on our faces the entire ride. The stops on the tour were great too! He toe us a little history/background or the places; we were able to take pics. Overall great experience!
Just a fantastic way to learn about the city of Austin.Gator was an excellent guide and thoughtfully adapted my tour to match things I'd mentioned earlier.It could have been a slightly sad day on my own ( I'm on a business trip - don't know anyone here). Instead I found myself laughing with Gator as we rode the streets to Starship "We built this city" and other well chosen music.The bikes are easy to learn. I'm mid 50's and never ridden a motor bike, so it can't be hard.I'll be back when I'm next in town.
You guys are awesome - a fun way to see som of the sights in Austin. Would highly recommended to anyone.
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!
So much fun! Highly recommend as it is a great way to see Austin but also loads of fun riding the bikes. The guides are amazing! They take (free) photos the whole trip using either your phones or theirs. And don't worry about riding the bikes as they make sure everyone is comfortable even making you do a few circles in an empty car park to get use to the feel.Seriously cannot recommend this enough... DO IT!
