Mike King is offering a reward for the return of his custom electric bike, which was stolen while he was on a cycling tour of New Zealand to raise awareness for youth climate anxiety.

In a expletive-laden video posted to social media, the entertainer and mental health campaigner said the bike was stolen by “some f***face” outside the Number One Shoes store in Baycourt, Tauranga while he was getting a haircut nearby. [...]

“Unf***ing believable, man. As you can tell, I’m p***ed. How the f**k can these fleas get away with this s**t?

“Thieving pricks is all they are. I’d love to get ahold of them and f**king deal to them.”

Towards the end of the video, he said he would give a $500 reward out of his own pocket to anyone who came forward with the address of the thief. [...]

Launched on October 1, the tour has seen King travel more than 4850km to engage with communities and address rising youth climate anxiety.
