Taking a little me time for a midweek break, David Beckham rode his custom motorcycle around town in West Hollywood on Wednesday (October 16).

The retired footballer looked tough in a dark gray T-shirt, jeans, and a black helmet as he showed off his tattooed arms.

Last week, the 38-year-old athlete got a chance to honor an inspiring young woman at the Pride of Britain Awards in London.

Presenting the Teenager of Courage Award, Becks handed her a trophy recognizing her bravery and heroism in fighting for education rights in Pakistan.
