After returning home from the UK just a few days ago (and doing a bit of shopping almost upon arrival), David Beckham rounded up his boys — Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz — to go bike riding along the Pacific Ocean in Venice, CA yesterday afternoon … here are a few pics:

If your father’s an international sports star, trying to snatch a moment of quality time together can probably be tricky. So it’s no wonder the Beckham boys looked over the moon to be hanging out with their dad David in the Californian sunshine yesterday. While mum Victoria was making her way back to London from a business trip to Paris, the three brothers made the most of a boys day out with their famous father. The boys – Brooklyn, ten, Romeo, seven and three-year-old Cruz – clad in shorts, t-shirts and tracksuits, went for a bike ride around Venice Beach and made sure their helmets were firmly in place. But while the Beckham’s clearly install a safety-first attitude in their household, it’s a shame David didn’t set a further example by wearing his helmet, preferring a grey beany hat instead. And with any youngster who is still a little unsteady as they get used to two wheels, Cruz managed to crash his bike on the path but shook it off as he stood up laughing. Although David is on loan to Italian football team AC Milan from Californian side LA Galaxy, the family still reside in Beverly Hills. The Beckhams will be jetting back to the UK next week to spend Christmas at their Hertfordshire mansion, and will be joined on Christmas Day by TV chef Gordon Ramsey, his wife Tana and their children. David is due to return to the Serie A club next month, so is no doubt getting in as much time and as many days out with his kids before he jets off to Italy.

As crazy bizzy as Becks is, he always does his best to share as much quality time with his sons as possible. These photos are amazingly cute … enjoy the Beckhams while you still can, SoCal … they’ll be gone all too soon.
