Leo's at it again! DiCaprio takes new model for a spin on his favorite Citi Bikes... after split from Nina Agdal

He might be a man of Oscar-winning talent, but when it comes to his many girlfriends, Leonardo DiCaprio seemingly has two simple requirements.

Naturally they must look good on his arm - something the 42-year-old achieves by exclusively romancing young models (indeed his most recent girlfriend, Nina Agdal, was Leo's tenth Victoria's Secret beauty).

But while a pretty face and slim figure are nothing unusual in Hollywood circles, the next requirement is rather more niche - they must be able to ride a bike.

After splitting from Nina in the spring, Leo has now been spotted courting German model Lorena Rae with his tried and tested method - a ride around New York on a Citi Bike.

On Thursday the actor and pretty 23-year-old hopped aboard the hired bikes for a spin around the city streets in the sunshine.

Struggling slightly in her flirty black wrap dress, Lorena slipped behind as Leo, clad in practical shorts and a T-shirt, took the lead.

Not looking back, he sped off, as concerned looking Lorena wobbled along behind.

Still, for a man as used to the high life as party-loving Leo, it is perhaps as close to normal dating as he can get.

And biking certainly seems to get Leo in the mood, with the amorous star seen cycling his way to love with a stream of beauties over the years.

From Gisele Bundchen to actress Blake Lively, along with a constant stream of models such as Polish beauty Ela Kawalec, Leo's early dates follow an obvious pattern, with bike riding top of the list.

However this time it seem Leo is branching out slightly - for once his pretty squeeze is a brunette, quite the change for blonde-loving Leo.
