John and Justin were full of energy and knowledge! This is an excellent way to see Austin and learn about some history as you tour. The bike's were easy to navigate. Lots of photo ops along the way. The live jukebox with rock music playing as we strolled through the streets of Austin made us all feel like "rebels without a cause". If you have the time to spare, I would recommend this. And go early morning to avoid the heat. Thanks again, John and Justin!
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
You can't miss this opportunity to see Austin. It was, great, fun, and the perfect way to explore parts of Austin you wouldn't normally see otherwise. Will be doing it again next time!!
Our tour guide Cope was super friendly and engaging making the entire tour a really memorable experience! Super easy to do! Would highly recommend.
We had the most incredible time with Patrick at Your Biker Gang Austin. He was so patient and informative when we were learning the ropes on the bike, and genuinely enjoys showing people his city. We felt like part of a real team riding around the city and saw some very unique sights! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Cope (biker name Peanut) was a great guide! We learned some cool things about Austin, his music was on point and he was fun to be with. The bikes were pretty easy to maneuver too. We got tons of looks and hi fives from random people and even some from real bikers. We felt really cool! The water and seat cover were a nice and necessary touch. Well done!
What a fun way to see the city. Our road captain, Joseph, made sure we had a full safety briefing and training before hitting the road. I’m in a cast for a broken wrist so was a passenger. Would have been comfortable as the driver otherwise. Loved seeing the Hope Outdoor Gallery before it gets torn down. Definitely would recommend this to anyone.
This was such a great way to see the city of Austin. It was really fun using the bikes and Rooster was an excellent guide. I would definitely recommend.
Fantastic tour with Pat and Justin. Got to see a ton of the city while having fun and learning a lot. I would do this tour if you are in Austin!
This was the coolest thing we have ever done as a family. The kids REALLY enjoyed it. John was GREAT!! He made the tour a memory we will never forget. This is a must do if you're in Austin. Worth every penny!
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
