Sunnyview residents treated to motorcycles
Though no one at Sunnyview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center could remember quite how its bike night started about 10 years ago, some of the residents can remember the days when they mounted their old two-wheelers for a spin.
Doreen McSweeny, a rehabilitation patient at Sunnyview, admired the motorcycles brought to the facility by members of the Legion Riders Thursday evening. She said she was surprised at how much bigger they were than the ones she rode years ago.
“They were small versions of these Harleys,” McSweeny said. “We’re picking out a new one. I’ll probably need a ‘Tricycle.’”
Victoria Thompson, activities director at Sunnyview, said bike night was last hosted by the facility in 2019; it was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to coronavirus concerns.
