we loved riding around on the bikes- very fun. And our leader was fantastic- Gator... very knowledgeable about the city, history and the local folklore... he was amicable, funny and patient :)
Wonderful...we are 60+ first timers. The staff was patient and very supportive. We saw Austin in a fun and memorable manner. A must for all
We were referred to Your Biker Gang's Fat Tire tours by an employee of mine. On a couples trip in late April we participated in the Food and City tour. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather and we loved our tour with Patrick. The bikes are easy to handle and safe to ride. We got to see many parts of the city and we really enjoyed ourselves. I think the tour was 2 hours and it could have been twice as long. Highly recommend this if you are looking for something "different" to do while in Austin.
Fantastic!! The whole experience was exciting and fun. If you're on the fence about trying this out, take that step and do it! Cope was our guide and did an excellent job showing my wife and I around the city and telling us some history along the way. It's not a strict tour, it's very laid back and extremely worth it!
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!
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!
Holy cow! What an amazing way to explore a city! This is very unique and different from other tours I have taken, where you usually get talked at for an hour and you just snap photos that you'll never look at again. Using electric scooters allows you to truly immerse yourself and be involved with the experience. Our tour guide Tyler was very accommodating to what we wanted to learn about Austin and a great teacher for learning how to drive the bikes.I would recommended booking at the beginning of a trip, because Tyler showed us stuff we would've never known to visit without his recommendations.
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
My buddies and I had a blast and our tour guide (Patrick) couldn't have been cooler. 2 hours of non-stop fun and beauty. Highly recommended!
This was my second ride and it was just as awesome as the first. John was an incredible tour guide and kept things upbeat and fun, even when a couple people on the ride struggled to ride the bikes and felt a bit uneasy. It's such a great way to see some sights and do something different and unique and I cannot say enough about how great every employee at Your Biker Gang has been. They reach out prior to the ride to make sure you don't have any questions, provide water and sunscreen, and are just the coolest group of people. We went to a few different spots than on the first ride which really made it feel like a completely new experience. If you have a couple hours to spare (and you should because this is totally worth it), book a ride. This is now one of my go-to things to do when friends visit. The memories are unforgettable and the guides take great pictures they make available to everyone for free. More
This a MUST tour in Austin! They have different tours of Downtown and we choose the Food Truck tour. There are so many food trucks for all types cuisines. You learn a little of the history of Austin, eat great food and ride a bike. The staff is super cool and they take great pictures for free! They welcomed us with plenty of water bottles, bandanas for some coolness and some gloves. As for Cope, he is fun and knows all the spots to have fun. I will definitely ride again.
