Nick van der Lijke (born 23 September 1991) is a Dutch racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI Continental team Leopard TOGT Pro Cycling.
Nick van der Lijke is married to Dutch former professional cyclist Nicky Zijlaard. When he didn't get a new contract for 2022, the couple took over the Zijlaard family business.[5] A few months later they handed the Croissanterie back to Nicky's parents, and Nick got back to racing. His amateur successes[6][7] lead to a new contract with Riwal Cycling Team who in 2023 merged with Leopard Pro Cycling.[8]
