Clearly off-duty, the pair - who seem to be very close - wore matching white tracksuit bottoms and black jackets as they returned home following their mini expedition.
Looking strikingly similar to his film-maker parent, Rocco bore an uncanny resemblance to the movie maker, whose films include Snatch and Layer Cake.
Appearing slightly unsteady on his bike, Rocco seemed unimpressed with the rain - which surely came as an unwelcome addition to their outing.

As Guy and Rocco spent time together in London, Madonna shared a fiery post on her Instagram page on Saturday.
The singer shared a sweet family snap on her page, showing the star cosying up with her four children Lourdes, Mercy, David and 15-year-old Rocco.
Rocco and his mother are seated side by side in the snap, with Madonna including a thinly veiled message in the caption.
'Its possible to be an entertainer and a good mother!!! Too bad we don't live in a society where many encourage strong independent single working moms! The next great Frontier! ❤️#revolutionoflove continues ❤️#rebelheart4ever,' she wrote.
In December, the singer's son allegedly refused to return back to America after leaving Madonna's concert tour.
The teenager went to London to be with his father and has yet to return. He even blocked his mother from Instagram before deleting his account, which had more than 138,000 followers.

Rocco is said to have claimed he would have a more 'stable and loving' home life with Guy, who lives with his wife Jacqui and their three children, Rafael, four, Rivka, three, and Levi, 18 months.
Because of Rocco's strong views, Guy is said to have hired a lawyer and is preparing for a legal battle to keep custody of his son.
A source revealed to People that Madonna was not going to give up on her son.
'She is going to fight, fight, fight, and she is going to fight to the end,' citing that the singer 'is an excellent mother.'

They were later joined by Guy's new wife Jacqui Ainsley as they headed off on their day out.

Jacqui kept her curves under wraps in a navy blue coat that fell on her thighs, and baggy grey trousers.
She glammed it up with a furry collar and kept her brunette hair under a matching navy blue flat-cap.
The mother-of-three showed off her natural beauty in her casual get-up, and wore minimal make-up - just a touch of blush and mascara to complete her off-duty look.
Guy wed Jacqui in a star-studded ceremony last year, with good pals Brad Pitt and David Beckham in attendance.
The couple have three children together, son Rafael, four, daughter Rivka, and one-year-old son Levi.
