Custom Bike Tours in Austin, Fredericksburg and beyond
Gravel Riding
Cycling on unpaved roads with little to no vehicular traffic, winding through fields and farm-ranch lands. Low-key fun with friends and family.
Road Cycling
Riding on paved roads for efficiency on a road bike with drop-handle bars for speed or a more casual ride on a hybrid with flat-handle bars for upright riding.
Trails & Mountain
Biking off-road through woods, fields, rock gardens over roots, obstacles, drop-offs, logs with climb and descents. Challenging Adventure.
City Tours
Biking is just moving around the city on a bike. Not a bike ride. Faster than driving in the central city while immersed in the culture of the city. Reminiscent of the childhood joy of riding a bike.
Supporting Cyclists
If you want to ride a bike, we support you in creating a carefree, fun, and as challenging an experience as you wish. You and your cycling experience are unique and so is the support you may need.
Hiring Bikes
You deserve to ride the right bike for the specific cycling experience. Working with local bike shops, we can select, reserve, pick-up, deliver and return rental bikes.
Guiding Expertly
Guides are chosen to match guests’ personalities and cycling expertise. You ride and converse with a friend who is a local and knows the terrain.
Eating & Drinking
Nutrition is needed for cycling. A celebration enhances enjoyment. A personal chef is waiting in the kitchen to create for you.
What to do with 12 family members in town?
Take a bike tour, that’s what! We contacted Texas Bike Tours and arranged a family outing. A number of participants were from out of town. Where do you get bikes for all? Not to worry, Deaton, the tour company owner got the stats on what we needed and had the bikes and helmets waiting for us. We arrived in Hyde Park, a picturesque neighborhood in Central Austin. Met Deaton, our two tour guides, got the tour lowdown, donned our helmets and we were off. We headed through neighborhoods, then east of town, to a fantastic trail system, winding up in downtown Austin to a wonderful catered meal and libations. The tour guides were patient, knowledgeable about Austin and more than accommodating to our requests. We...

Perfect way to preview Austin!
This was an amazing tour that was customized not only to fit the locations we wanted to see, but matched to our personalities. Through email correspondence, Deaton learned about our group (two couples) and laid out the perfect route for us. The route included some of the tourist hotspots, but even better, included off the beaten path sights that suited us well. Deaton met us with bikes, helmets, water, and a tasty granola bar ready to go. She was so upbeat and friendly. She was as excited about us going on the tour as we were. Every detail was pre-planned and executed by Deaton. We did not have to do anything but show up! Jacob was our personal tour guide. He was incredibly friendly and...

Best road bike guides on a bike tour.
This group of friends take annual road cycling trips all over the world. Temecula, Solvang, Tucson, and Italy are a few trips they mentioned. They enjoyed the TXBT custom-routes designed with their cycling experience and comfort with cycling in mind, the SAG wagon that followed with the nutrition they enjoyed, and the camaraderie they developed with the local guides. The two guides in Austin and the two guides in Fredericksburg all agreed that this was a fun group to guide. The two lead cyclists in the group offered to be a reference for us. Their contact information will be provided upon request. One is with a technology company and the other is with a large law firm.
