The best name in cycling

Broomwagon

Broomwagon: The satirical column that puts the bile into bicycle. Broomwagon appears at the back of Cycle Sport magazine every month.

Frans: Yes, that’s what it says on my passport.

Broomwagon: What a great name. What’s the story behind it?

Frans: You’d have to ask my parents what they were thinking.

Broomwagon: Have you ever asked them?

Frans: I think when you’re Catholic these names mean something.

Broomwagon: Did you ever find it embarrassing?

Frans: No. Well, I didn’t tell people too much. I was just Frans Maassen.

Broomwagon: So, what should we call you? Franciscus Albertus Antonius Johannes?

Frans: No, no, no. Frans is fine. Really. Please. Just Frans Maassen.

Broomwagon: You got it, Franciscus.
