Donated bikes get makeover from Cherokee County sheriff's deputies
BAXTER SPRINGS, Kan. — Sheriff's deputies put away the badge and become professional painters.
School Resource Officer Anne Sharp and Community Outreach Deputy Rhanda Andrews spent their day refurbishing six donated bicycles.
The bikes came from donations following 'National Bike to School Day' earlier this month. Along with a new coat of paint the bikes were checked from top to bottom ensuring everything works.

Now they're ready to be used to help teach safety lessons to kids across the county.
'They love interacting on good days and we're just excited to teach them bicycle safety, teach them a few hand signals if they're old enough that day, and then teach them to look both ways when crossing the street and just any questions they have. We're just going to go over and have fun,' said Andrews.
The bikes will be used at the schools in Columbus, Baxter Springs, Riverton and Galena.
