Dom Fixes Bikes Celebration

Five years ago, Dom Pecora, a teen from Chester County, made it his mission to fix bikes and save lives. His nonprofit organization, Dom Fixes Bikes, donates bicycles to anyone passionate about riding—regardless of age, race, gender, or financial ability.

Based in Malvern, Dom’s nonprofit hosted clinics focused on bike safety and repair, offering hands-on learning while restoring bikes for people who needed them most. He launched the initiative from his mother’s garage in Chesterbrook, and over time, it grew into a community-driven effort.

Earlier this month, May 15th, he brought the community, and sponsors together to celebrate 5 years of putting smiles on bike enthusiasts faces.
