These are anything but Happy Days for ‘The Fonz’ after being stung for a novelty ride through London.

TV star Henry Winkler, who played Arthur Fonzarelli in the hit U.S. sitcom, tweeted to his 1.1 million followers about the incident after receiving a huge bill for a rickshaw ride.

The 78-year-old fumed: “DO NOT take one of these bicycle taxis without absolutely negotiating the price first.  This person in London rode us around in circles then finally to our destination 7 blocks away…for $170 US!  My fault, I paid, but passenger beware!”

Winkler posted a picture taken from the back of the cab and said he “lost my mind” when presented with the bill. According to thesun.co.uk/, Winkler is in the UK to promote his autobiography, Being Henry.

Rogue rickshaw drivers in London face being licensed after complaints about outrageous fares. One man was allegedly charged $950 for a 10-minute trip.
