There's good news in the circus world tonight: Bello Nock, the daredevil clown, and his lost little bike were reunited Sunday.
The Associated Press reported the star of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus thanked Ricky Robinson, who found Bello’s shiny foot-high, 6-inch-wide contraption Friday night outside a restaurant on Manhattan’s West Side.
The bitty bike was taken from a Manhattan street Friday. Bello and two fellow clowns had put on an impromptu show for a passing camera crew, when Bello rested his bike against a street sign and forgetfully walked away.
No matter if you're a circus star or a humble cyclist in the Midwest, Bello's reaction reveals the relationship between a bicycle and the person who rides it:
“I need my bike. That is my bike."
