The man remained fixed on his bike for at least three hours until his wife returned back and called for help. The strange incident happened with 50-year-old asthma patient Kobus van Deventer on Wednesday afternoon while he was driving his car through Johannesburg's northern suburbs.

Bob Wilson has won a small-claims case and the court has rewarded him with a cash award, but the Howell Township resident wants to part ways with it. The reason behind the strange situation is the mode of payment. Instead of being paid in cash, Wilson received the allocated amount of $335 announced by the court in pennies, totaling up to 33,500. The case stemmed from the repair of an old dirt bike, which Wilson took to Karl Stepen, a motorcycle service store owner, to fix. Stepen reportedly kept the bike for nearly six months and returned the bike to Wilson but it "lasted two minutes," Wilson told wzzm13. com.

Bello Nock, named one of America's most famous clowns by Times magazine and employed by The Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Traveling Circus, has got his lost bitty bike back. The skilled gymnast had been "very upset" since Friday night when his foot-high, 6-inch-wide contraption was taken from a Manhattan street while Bello and two fellow circus members clowned around. "I can't tell you how happy I am to have it back," the big-haired Bello told the Associated Press. "I wonder how comfortable it would be as a pillow. I may have to sleep on the thing. "

A motorcyclist has filed a lawsuit against the Tacoma School District, claiming that the ball tossed by a group of Wilson High School cheerleaders and football players conducting a car wash caused his Harley Davidson to crash, thereby hurting him. Ronald Adjutant, of University Place, has reportedly sought undisclosed damages for "physical and mental," injuries he suffered in the crash. The incident happened on April 3, 2004, when Adjutant was riding his Harley Davidson and suddenly a ball came out flying, hitting the front of his bike, causing him to crash on the ground.
