Cycling family

[edit | edit source]

Zijlaard comes from a renowned cycling family. Grandfather Joop Zijlaard is a famous former pacer[2] and he ran a pub named after his moustache (NL: snor). Dad Ron took over both pacing and the family business. Uncle Michael is a former cyclist who's most famous for marrying and supporting Leontien van Moorsel, managing women's professional team AA Drink–leontien.nl, men's Pro Continental team Roompot and organising the Six Days of Rotterdam. Brother Maikel Zijlaard is also a professional cyclist.[3]

Nicky Zijlaard married professional cyclist Nick van der Lijke with whom she has a daughter. In 2022 they briefly took over Crossanterie De Snor, but due to her health issues they handed the business back to her parents.[4][5]
