Our tour guide Cope was super friendly and engaging making the entire tour a really memorable experience! Super easy to do! Would highly recommend.
First, the day was very hot, mid 90's. Biker Gang supplied us water and reminded us to keep hydrated. This was very good. Patrick was our group leader and was a fun and knowledgeable guide. The route was fun and informative considering it was just a two hour experience. We stopped several times for photo ops. My only suggestion would be for perhaps a little more practice time, but I was probably the slowest of our group of 6 to pick up the driving of the scooters. I just turned 60 and it's been a while since I've been on a bike and also had no clue about using a hand throttle. Even so, a very fun time!
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 parents were visiting and this was the perfect way to show them around the city. A comfortable ride and friendly, thoughtful outgoing tour guides made this the highlight of our trip! We did the morning ride which was nice because it was cooler and traffic was lighter. I highly recommend this excursion over pedalhoppers or segways (I’ve done both). Tyler and Reagan were our guides and were GREAT. Knowledgeable, fun, and also mindful to keep our large group out of the ways of cars, joggers and other bikers. Book with them if you can!
It was so much fun. The tour guide (Jon) gave us some history, fun, and of corse some iconic graffiti of austin. Never going to a regular tour again.
Had a great time on this ride! Patrick was great and very entertaining. Only issue was most of the food trucks at the lot we went to weren't open. If that is the norm for a Monday would have preferred to do a. regular tour. Actually that would have given us more time riding which we all would have preferred!!
This was a blast! It was so fun and such a great way to show some of our friends Downtown Austin! The bikes were fun to drive and easy to learn. Our guide Tyler was amazing! He was the greatest tour guide and very knowledgeable of the city and stops. We would absolutely do this again!
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!!!

This tour is a fun way to see Austin. Looks intimidating to ride but it is easy after a few minutes of practice in the parking lot. Our guide Patrick was super upbeat and fun touring us through the main parts of downtown Austin. He's extremely knowledgeable too. Would ride again and would definitely recommend!
What an amazing experience we had . Such a great and unique way to see Austin. I would highly recommend
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
