I think it's just a bit of alliteration to act as a memorable phrase to remind you to check for riders before opening the door. It's not necessarily a direct instruction.

It probably has more impact in a country where cycling is the second biggest sport (behind football) and where Remco will be a household name.

Ok cool, I wondered whether something was lost in translation but that makes sense.

I think there's a visual aid to act as a reminder to do a Dutch reach it said in one of the articles.

I expect there may also be an element of trying to find something that not only matches with the name, but also works in both Dutch and French. Having two (three if you count German) main languages adds to the challenge of trying to create universal catch phrases!

Got something to say?
