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.

Poignant tribute from Chris Boardman: https://www.bikeradar.com/news/mike-burrows/

“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.”
That frame blew my mind in 1992

Often times true genius is knowing how to get something done, even at large personal cost.
