Henry Winkler shocked after being charged almost 0 for rickshaw



Henry Winkler was left shocked after being charged nearly $200 for a rickshaw ride in London.

The Happy Days star, 78, hadn’t agreed on a price before climbing into the flashy mode of transport in the English capital and told his followers to always do so. 

He wrote on X: ‘TRAVEL TIP: DO NOT take one of these bicycle taxis without absolutely negotiating the price first.’

Henry noted that the operator of the rickshaw simply rode around the big city  ‘in circles’  before charging him just over £130 for the privilege and told his followers to ‘beware’ of the popular tourist moneymaker. 

‘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! ‘

The city is host to a number of rickshaw companies and many of the vehicles come adorned with various  bells and whistles as they whizz through the area playing pop music. 

Henry – who is best known for starring as The Fonz in the classic 1970s sitcom – was inundated with comments from followers.

One follower was a former driver of authentic London black cabs and pleaded with the TV star to always opt for one of those.

They wrote: ‘London cabbies are known for being honest, knowledgeable, and decent-It takes a full year for someone to gain all the Knowledge necessary to become a cab driver. 

‘I believe they drive black cars. Anyway, this is a former cabbie telling you to grab a real cab. 

Henry replied:  ‘I did all the time. For that moment I LOST my mind’.

In a nod to Henry’s signature role, one fan assured him: Ayeeeeeeee, the. Fonz is cool anytime!’

Another fan started to dig for information as to why the US-born star had been in London in the first place.

They wondered whether Henry had come across solely for the England v Switzerland match on Saturday, which saw the Three Lions score a victory.

They also wondered if Henry would be tuning in again for the upcoming match this weekend.

Henry confirmed: ‘Yes and yes’.
