Dancer and choreographer Derek Hough and his girlfriend Hayley Erbert enjoyed an afternoon of bike riding together on what turned out to be another scorching summer day in Los Angeles.

Their afternoon of leisure comes just a couple days after word was made public that Hough will be rejoining the ABC hit reality series Dancing With The Stars for the upcoming season 29.
