The bizarre moment a cyclist vented his rage at a pro-Trump political yard sign in North Carolina has been caught on camera.
John Kane, a Raleigh businessman and local Republican political activist, posted home surveillance video of the incident on the social media site X on Friday, offering a $1,000 reward for the perpetrator's identity.
The video shows a road cyclist, fully kitted in helmet and spandex, stopping and weakly kicking the yard sign outside Kane's home on August 12, to no effect.
Then in the early hours of August 15, a man who appears to be the same individual, wearing similar cycling gear, is again seen on camera setting fire to the sign, which proclaims, 'Trump Won'.
Attorney James R. Lawrence III, a partner at Envisiage Law, said he is representing Kane, who plans to sue the arsonist once he is identified.
'Regardless of what the Wake County District Attorney’s office does with this video, accountability is coming,' wrote Lawrence on X.
The attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com on Saturday afternoon.
Kane is a conservative activist in North Carolina, and recently ran for the chairmanship of the state's GOP Party.
He was defeated by incumbent chairman Michael Whatley at the state's Republican Party convention in June.
However, several delegates who backed Kane filed a lawsuit challenging the results, according to the Carolina Journal.

That pic with his tattooed arm is almost as good as him leaving his drivers license there.
:) good catch.!
People like this cyclist are your enemy.
”A lot” would be more accurate. I happen to be one of those bikers, and I am neither of those things.

Would you settle for a "majority are"?
I only personally know two, and while it is a small sample size, both of them are demonRAT assholes.
I doubt whether knowing two people can indicate an accurate view of bike riders in general, but most of the bicycle racks I see are on cars with demonRat stickers and indicators.
I don't know it to be a fact, but I'd bet that more FReepers ride motorcycles than 10 speeds.
That’s what I call “fighting back”.
I hear ya but if you dress like Lance Armstrong when you ride and take up the whole lane dont be surprised to be lumped in with them.

Frankly, his punishment should also be being kicked and set on fire - in his little spandex pants and alien hat.

The cubicle sees all /-)
Of course, to prevent people from burning signs, we need to ban bicycles. That is how gun control works. 🤓
As for the attire, bike shorts are the way they are for good reason. The tight-fitting shirt is more optional, and really only needed if you are riding competitively.
I wish more riders around here had your consideration.
The pedo bear tattoo will be his undoing.
