ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Lowrider Bike Program is celebrating its third year. The aim of the program is to teach trades like welding, leatherwork, upholstering, paint and body fabrication, and pinstriping.
According to a press release, The Lowrider Bike Program is led by Rob Vanderslice of Vanderslice Kustom Shop and brings years of knowledge in lowrider painting and fabrication. “This program is just the vessel for something bigger,” said Vanderslice. “To build stronger relationships between the youth, law enforcement and the lowrider community is the main goal, and I am blessed to be able to pass on what I know to the next generation and really set them up for success in life.”
Officials say this year’s program has doubled in size to about 60 students, as opposed to last year’s 25 students. There are a few spots open. More information is available on the city website.
