Barclays Premier League legends were on hand to launch new Boris bikes in club colours.

The new-look Barclays Cycle Hire bikes have been produced in the colours of Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham, QPR and Tottenham and are on display in local branches of the bank.

Martin Keown, Darren Anderton, Marcel Desailly, Rufus Brevett and Ray Wilkins all rode out in London’s Regent’s Park to show off the bikes in their former clubs' colours.

Arsenal legend Martin Keown, who made more than 300 appearances for the club, said: "Having spent so much of my career in London it’s great to see these special Barclays Cycle Hire bikes.

"Football and cycling keep you fit and they also help bring people closer to their communities, and with the summer approaching, I would encourage Londoners and visitors to get on a bike to see some of the great things this city has to offer."

Ashok Vaswani, CEO Barclays UK Retail and Business Banking, official sponsors of the Barclays Premier League and Barclays Cycle Hire, said: "This initiative successfully combines two of our key sponsorships and allows us to give something back to both football fans and cyclists in their local communities.

"We are dedicated to improving how people get around London and this is the perfect way to celebrate our continued support for both football and cycling in the capital."
