On your bike! Naomi Watts takes a back seat as she joins Liev Schreiber and son Samuel for tandem ride through Manhattan

She’s rarely far from her family, and they were closer than ever on Wednesday afternoon as Naomi Watts made her latest appearance in New York City.

The British actress was joined by partner Liev Schreiber and son Samuel – the younger of their two children – for a bike ride through the streets of Manhattan, shortly after jetting into the east coast from Los Angeles.

Their outing was all the more memorable by virtue of their decision to climb aboard a three seated tandem, complete with an old fashioned basket attached to the handlebars.

Taking the rear of their unconventional mode of transport, Naomi, 46, looked stylish in a cream blazer and skinny jeans teamed with a pair of seasonal Birkenstock sandals.

With Liev taking a central position on their bike the cautious actress ensured her hands were never far from his back as they weaved past stationary vehicles.

Completing her look with a pair of tinted Aviator sunglasses Naomi proved to be a stylish sight, but she suffered a minor hair malfunction when a strong gust of wind blew through her carefully coiffed locks.

Meanwhile Samuel took a place on the front of the bicycle, a safety helmet on his head and his hands clutching the handlebars. 

Later that day Naomi  was seen taking a relaxed stroll through New York with another member of the family - pet pooch Bob. 

Naomi and Liev reside in Los Angeles, and share sons Alexander, seven, and Samuel, six.
