		And perhaps the name Arendonk is still known by a few cyclist fans that remember the name of Rik van Steenbergen, a three-time world champion cyclist much admired by the Janssen Brothers.
		The name "Bange" is not because he was shy, but because of the fact that when he got home from a race, he stayed for a couple of minutes on the landing board in order to have a nice view of the neighbourhood.
		The "Bange van '51" is the keybird from which the pigeons descend that became famous in the later years.
