Oh no, too soon! Do we know, was he ill? Now we'll never know what else his fertile imagination would have cooked up.
Thank you Mike, for all the cool bikes'n'stuff. You changed the world, at least a little, for the better.

Then I started getting into the black art of frame building. It was all frogs and cauldrons and very exciting.
“That’s the bike that defined him,” said Boardman. “He went to Lotus because he wanted to see it become something bigger but in some ways it was sad that it became known as ‘the Lotus bike’, because it was ‘the Mike Burrows bike’, in polished form.”
