If you want to see Austin’s unique sites—and have a blast while doing so—book with Your Biker Gang. Tyler was a great guide, and he showed us the highlights, and weird sites, of Austin. He entertained us and kept us safe while we learned to ride the bikes. It was a great experience and a highlight of our trip.
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
My mom and I visited Texas on vacation. We’re from Ohio. We travelled from Dallas to Corpus Christi and back, and Your Biker Gang was the most fun thing we found! Cope was our guide and he was great. We got a better look at down town Austin and he pointed out a lot of cool street art and gave us background information on some of the really cool buildings. My favorite was the “narwhal” building. We ate at Torchys Tacos and it was DAMN GOOD, just like the sign said. I would definitely sign up for this again and to anyone who has never been to Austin, check them out! You’ll have a blast!!!

Rooster was awesome. Had so much fun cruising around the city! A great way to get to know the city, definitely recommend the food truck one
I highly recommend this adventure. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and completely helpful. The ride was fun and exciting and had great music. It was very enjoyable for the whole family we had ages ranging all the way from age 6 all the way up to 57. Will be definitely doing it again. You guys rock
We had some much fun with Joe. It was rainy and cold for our ride but we still had tons of fun. We loved it.
Great way to see some of the highlights of Austin! Three bikes, three adults and one teen; a FUN and laid-back tour leader (Hi Tyler!); and a cool morning full of sunshine=an amazingly fun ride!! We all loved this tour and had SO much fun!
Patrick our tour guide was amazing, so much fun! If you are in the Austin area this is a must dd! Thanks for a fun afternoon.
This is a great way to see the highlights of Austin and discover some really interesting local knowledge. The bikes are easy to ride, can be navigated with no pedaling at all if you wish. Patrick our guide was excellent and ensured our safety at all times. Austin traffic was pretty respectful of our bike tour when we were on main roads. I would really recommend this experience to anyone
Our annual girls weekend landed us in Austin where we by luck discovered, Your Biker Gang. Patrick, our uber-friendly guide (and former elementary school teacher), gave us quick but thorough instructions, then took the four of us (plus the other four riders in our tour) around the city's top points of interest - safely weaving us in, out and through Austin's eclectic/funky hot spots. It was a perfect mix of everything - down to Patrick's little bike speaker playing Bob Marley along the route. It was a great intro to the city and helped us put together our game plan for the rest of the weekend.
Our tour guide was awesome! Very enthusiastic and was knowlegeable about the area. He was funny, and had great charisma :)
