They may actually be called Santander Cycles nowadays, but the old name has stuck after the former Mayor Of London introduced them in 2010.

But Bellerin is seemingly more than happy to not talk about the man affectionately known as BoJo.

Captioning the photo of him astride the bicycle in what looks like a London housing estate, Bellerin wrote: "Only Boris I like is the bikes mann."

His comment seemed to be well liked my most of the people who commented on the snap.

SunSport recently revealed how the 23-year-old has hit out at criticism on social media and admitted to being affected by sick homophobic abuse.

He is angry at the level of insults he has received from fans inside and outside football stadiums.

The fashion-lover revealed he has been branded a “lesbian” and mocked for his hairstyle, as well as his performances on the pitch.

Bellerin revealed: “Some of it can get very abusive.

“Most of the abuse is online but you hear it in the stadium too

“There are other kinds of homophobic insults.

“When I played badly, the stick got crazy.”

Bellerin, who is dating a stunning lingerie model, became a terrace target under previous Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.

And he : “I have learnt to grow a thick skin but it can affect you.

“Every now and again, you get a bit of self-doubt. The problem is people have an idea of what a footballer should look like, how they should behave, what they should talk about.

“People have called me ‘lesbian’ for growing my hair.

“You act differently and you become a target. There is pressure to conform.

“This is very dangerous. In life, you should be allowed to express yourself.

“The worst was a year-and-a-half ago. A lot of people say nice things but it is natural to focus on the bad.

“Every day I am learning to deal with abuse in a better way.”
