The low-key outing in the city's South Zone featured the couple dressed in casual athletic wear. They rode alongside everyday cyclists and pedestrians.
Local outlet Gshow reported that the Brazilian celebrity blended quietly into the crowd while riding without a large entourage.
The bicycle ride follows a family vacation in Tahiti celebrating Bündchen's 46th birthday. She shared photos featuring her family and young son.
In a social media caption, she expressed gratitude: "Thank you all for the love and birthday wishes."
Reflecting on the milestone, the model wrote: "I feel so grateful for this new cycle that's beginning and for all the adventures that lie ahead.
May the love and kindness you share return to each of you a thousandfold."
Bündchen previously noted that she first connected with Valente through jiu-jitsu lessons offered for her children at his family's South Florida academy.

"Initially, I wasn't even considering it for myself," she said. She explained that attending the early sessions altered her view on the practice.
"But when I brought [her son] to the first class and started talking to Joaquim, I realized that it was much more than self-defense."
