JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A gang stripped a South African man before supergluing him to an exercise bicycle while they ransacked his house, according to a report Thursday.

SAPA news agency said the attackers, dressed in suits, hijacked a man in his 50s and forced him at gunpoint to take them to his home in Johannesburg.

"The victim was then forced to strip, after which he was superglued to the seat of an exercise bicycle, his hands were superglued, as were his feet and then his mouth was superglued shut," SAPA quoted Mark Stokoe, a spokesman for emergency services Netcare 911, as saying.

Was he able to get his heart rate to the targeted speed?

I knew a cyclist who couldn't afford to rent a wind tunnel so he super glued himself to the roof of a car to train.

I’m thinking that they could be charged with attempted murder. Supergluing someone’s mouth shut? And just leaving him there? They had no way of knowing if someone would find him.

Superglue, eh?

There’s an acetone joke in there somewhere.
