KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Two of the American teen cyclists in Ride2Freedom are honoring the lands of their parents. Nikita Kraiouchkine said, “I’m 17 years old and I represent Russia.” He is from Philadelphia, and his parents are Russian. Jasmina Davis, age 18, is riding for Peru, where her family is from. Both wear the flags of their ancestral countries on their backs as they ride.
