Mock Orange Bikes, or the “MOB”as you may have heard us called is the downtown destination for bicycles. ‘What does the name mean?’ We wanted our name to reflect our individuality; we didn’t want to be another “Joe’s Bike Shop” (sorry, Joe). After numerous hours of deep meditation and an impossibly long list of potential names, Webster’s dictionary revealed the answer – ‘mock orange’.

A plant indigenous to the south, and a name that paid homage both to our roots in Mocksville and love for that citrusy color – Mock Orange Bikes was born. In 2006, Mock Orange Bikes made the big move to the West End in Winston-Salem from its Main Street Mocksville location. A bigger shop, like a larger vase, has enabled Mock Orange to grow and blossom into one of North Carolina’s most well known and unique bicycle shops.
