Change for Change: Cobbleheads and Rio Bravo
Bikes. Cobbleheads. Thursdays. What a fun way to give back.
Thursday is Brownsville Bike Barn Day at Cobbleheads Bar and Grill! As part of Rio Bravo’s “Change for Change” program, Cobbleheads’ owner Joe Kenney has given his patrons the opportunity to be a part of Brownsville’s growing bicycle movement in a big way. With every beer and burger or draught and dessert, customers are contributing to health and alternative transportation in their community. A percentage of Cobbleheads’ sales, all day and night, every thursday, will go directly to fund the myriad of bicycle-related projects and initiatives of Rio Bravo Wildlife Institute.
Cycling enthusiasts and bicycle clubs of Brownsville can visit Cobbleheads, and be sure that this establishment is a serious partner in bicycle safety, routes, public bicycles, racks, bicycle outreach and recreation events for years to come.
