We had a blast with the "Your Biker Gang" food truck tour of Austin. Coop (aka "Peanut") was an amazing guide- helping everyone get the hang of riding the bikes, playing awesome music during the ride, and bringing a ton of energy and fun to the whole experience. The bikes were an amazing way to see the city- really fun to ride, got to cover a lot of ground. Did this with a few coworkers on a biz trip, and we all had a great time. Highly recommend!
took my girlfriend on a date via the biker gang to recant her childhood time in Austin after 12 years and she loved it. she visited Austin once in her childhood and loved it. When she came to visit for the holidays this was the perfect date and Tyler was the perfect host. We had a blast and will be back!
This is the best way to see the city and feel cool all at the same time!! Much better than Segway tour as you dont feel like such a geek and learn about the city!
We took some of our top customers and we all had a blast! Great way to see Austin in a few hours. Peanut and Rooster were very knowledgeable about the city of Austin and took great care of us!
Such a fun way to see the city. Entertaining from start to finish. Our tour guide was great! Looking forward to the food truck tour!
Great way to see Austin!! We had too much fun and our tour guide, Tyler, was great!! We also really enjoyed lunch at the food truck!
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
Get ready to laugh and have a great time! They take time to teach you how to ride, super easy. Got to get see some of Austin and had lunch at the food trucks. We have 4 of us and it was the perfect way to start our girls weekend in Austin!! Loved it!!!
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!
I am a true native Austinite and this was one of the FUNNEST adventures I have done in this city. I was sad when it was over. We are definitely going back and doing this again. Maybe the night tour next time. Our gang leader (ride captain) was Tyler. Wow! Right guy for the job. He was SO funny and made this the best experience. Thank you Tyler and Biker Gang!!!
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
