EspañolMIKE BURROWS
'Mike Burrows' is a bicycle designer, best known for the design of the time trial bike manufactured by Lotus for Chris Boardman, though he also contributed to a bicycle for Graeme Obree.
Burrows has long been involved in the recumbent bicycle/tricycle world, having designed the Speedy or Windcheetah trike and more recently the Ratcatcher, Ratracer and Ratracer B.
He is also involved in utility cycling and has designed a folding cycle (the Giant Halfway), an especially thin machine (the 2D) that takes up little space in a hallway and a freight bike (the 8-Freight) in use with cycle courier companies such as Outspoken.
In the 1990s, Mike worked for Giant Bicycles and designed the compact frame TCR road bike amongst others.
Burrows designs often feature cantilever suspended wheels. He supplied a bike fitted with a front monoblade to television science presenter Adam Hart-Davis, which bike featured heavily in some of Hart-Davis' programmes. Hart-Davis also owned a Speedy, finished in his trademark pink and yellow.
Mike lives in Norwich, England.
Burrows has written a book, ''Bicycle Design: Towards the Perfect Machine'' (ISBN 1-898457-07-7).
