Roeselare (Eurotoday) – KOERS museum in Roeselare celebrates Eddy Merckx’s 80th birthday with a giant card. Fans can sign it in person or online. The first 80 subscribers receive a postcard version. Raymond Degryse, among others, signed it.
As VRT News reported, at the cycling museum KOERS in Roeselare they are celebrating Eddy Merckx’s 80th birthday. They have a giant birthday card where people can write messages to him. Alderman Matthis Samn wants all cycling fans to sign the card.
If people can’t go to the museum, they can send their birthday wishes online through the museum’s website. They will print these messages and add them to the big card. They mentioned that this is a way for the cycling community to celebrate Merckx’s birthday together.
How does the birthday card celebrate Eddy Merckx’s legendary cycling career?
The birthday card for Eddy Merckx is full of special symbols and drawings about his career. It has the names of his grandchildren on it, too. One of the symbols is a rocket, which represents his first Tour de France victory. Officials mentioned that the card is more than just messages; it’s a way to celebrate the great cyclist and his life.
Raymond Degryse visited the museum and signed Eddy Merckx’s birthday card. He shared his admiration, saying he’s always been a big fan and that Merckx is the greatest. Degryse expressed his wishes for many more years for Merckx. To celebrate, the museum is giving a birthday card to the first 80 subscribers as a postcard. This allows fans to keep a special part of the celebration and feel connected to the cycling legend.
According to the officials, the birthday card for Eddy Merckx is ready, but when he’ll get it is still a mystery. The museum wants Merckx to come and get it in person. If he can’t make it, they’ll give it to him another way. The card is too big for a regular envelope, so it will be delivered without one. The organisers are hoping to create a special memory for Merckx and his fans.

What a brilliant idea! Nothing says “we love you” quite like a giant card that probably costs more than my cab fare for a year. 🎉🚴♂️

A giant birthday card for Merckx? Brilliant idea, because nothing says “legend” quite like a piece of cardboard waiting for signatures like it’s a high school yearbook. 🎉✍️ Hope the rocket symbol is just for decoration and not a plan to launch it into the stratosphere!

Oh, nothing screams “legendary cyclist” quite like a giant birthday card! I suppose next year they’ll have a parade with a float shaped like a bicycle tire… 🎉🚴♂️

Celebrating Merckx’s 80th with a giant card? How original! Next, we’ll just throw him a massive birthday cake shaped like a bike—because nothing says “we love you” quite like a piece of cardboard decorated with doodles. 🎂🚴♂️
