We had 7 people raning in age from 16 to 62 years and all of us agree it was the best thing we did. Rooster was our guide and after a short lesson we were off to explore Austin. We learnt about the city - saw the sights and got to ride the very cool bikes. Rooster kneew the best spots to stop and take pictures. It was great to be part of a biker gang!!!!!
Tour guide was super enthusiastic (but not too much) and fun to work with. Knowledgeable about the area and easy to work with. A lot of fun!
This was great time. The two gentlemen that led our gang were wonderful. It's a fun different way to see the city we love!!
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 participated in this adventure with our teen/young adult children and our whole family universally agreed that it was tons of fun. It was a great way to see the city of Austin, our guide was very friendly and funny, and my kids loved the stop at the Graffiti Park at Castle Hills, complete with a chance to spray paint things for themselves. (Spray paint provided as part of the tour.)
Had a blast checking out Austin and riding these fun bikes!! I recommend this to anyone visiting Austin!!
An awesome way to tour. Be ready for fun! Gang leader “Gator” was a total showman (and his music selection was perfect)! People on the street seemed to like it almost as much as us (they whipped out there phones to get us on video). Plus, we learned a lot at our stops/locations. A smooth ride and a must do!
I had no idea what to expect going into this, but it ended up being so much fun!! I never realized how much actually goes into making graffiti, and I have sooo much respect for the artists! Definitely recommend this if you want to change things up a bit! Bring a couple drinks with a group of friends and make an awesome piece of art!
Our tour guide (Tyler) was AMAZING! This was the most fun we had on our 4 day get away to Austin! Funnest way to see all the spots in Austin!
My husband and I loved this experience! We had so much fun and would definitely recommend it to others. One of our favorite parts of our Austin trip!
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.
