EL PASO, Texas (KTSM)—The SunCycle bike share program has partnered with Ascarate Park and Playa Drain Trail to launch a new bike share station in El Paso.

The community is invited to the free SunCycle Trek and Trail Kick-Off event at Ascarate Park, 6900 Delta Drive, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 27.

According to a news release by the Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority (CRRMA), the family-friendly event will include free snow cones, music, a scavenger hunt, games, and chances to win prizes.

Guests at the event can ride the SunCycle bikes free of charge and are encouraged to ride the bikes around the park and trail.
