Loved the class. I had no idea what I was getting into but learned a ton and left feeling like I'd made an actual piece of art. Highly recommend.
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
Tyler has a great energy and he is an amazing motivational speaker. One of our teams mates had a hard time and didn't want to ride but Tyler talked to her for 2 mins and she was all in afterwards and she did a great job! It was sooo fun and never felt unsafe
So glad we did this while visiting Austin. I enjoyed the small group setting and fun tour guide. Was able to get some great photo ops that we wouldn't have been able to get otherwise.
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!
We had a blast and the guides were fun and funny. Loved it! Fun way to see Austin and I would totally recommend it.
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.
Make sure you do this! We had an absolute blast. Great tour guides. Fun and easy to ride bikes. You’ll have a great time!!!
My family of 4 rented 2 e-bikes and did the city tour with Gator. The bikes were fun to ride, safe with with kids. We hit a bunch of hotspots, and Gator kept it fun.
We had a fantastic trip with our guide Cope, it was very informative and fun. My entire family had an awesome time.
My friends and I were in Austin for a series of business meetings and had an afternoon to kill. We were interested in touring the city and were recommended to Your Biker Gang. Our guide was awesome and we had a blast riding around the city on our electric “choppers”. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the sites in a fun/unique way!!!
