High-risk youth in Wyandotte County are being helped through a program that focuses on working on bicycles and attitudes. Martin Cervantes Sr. said the program started about three months ago, and about 10 students are involved in it currently. Some of the students in the program are involved with the court system, on probation or house arrest, he said. The Lowrider and Leadership Club is the project of Cervantes, with assistance from the Olathe Lowrider Bicycle Chapter, and space provided through the KCK PAL (Police Athletic League) Program. The bike program is allowed to use space at the PAL location at the former St. Mary’s Church on 5th Street.
