BIKER NEWS: Blinded from a stroke, biker defies and rides in York Bike Night parade

BN- As Scott D. Ewell maneuvered his trike through Continental Square Friday as he made his York City Bike Night parade debut, he felt like a hero.

Nearly 15,000 people waved and cheered as the 59-year-old, of Chanceford Township, revved the engine and sped through the streets as fast as the parade would allow.

Ewell was one of 11 trikes that led close to 1,000 motorcycles through downtown York at this year's trike-themed parade.

York City Bike Night has been a tradition, bringing live music, food and as many as 1,500 motorcycles to downtown York for 21 years. And though Ewell has attended Bike Night many times, Friday was something special.
