Mike Burrows

Mike Burrows (17 April 1943 – 15 August 2022) was an English bicycle designer from Norwich, England.

Burrow is best known by the general public for his collaborative work with the design of the track carbon-fibre Lotus 108 time trial bicycle manufactured by Lotus for Chris Boardman, when he won the 1992 Olympic 4000m pursuit in Barcelona.

Burrows was 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, the 8-Freight cargo bike in use with cycle courier companies such as Outspoken Delivery, and makes customised screen and PA carrying freight bikes with extendable "batwings" for AV2 Hire.

Burrows was involved with the design of a recumbent that could break the speed record for a human-powered vehicle (HPV).

The design Aim 93 attempted to break the record at the International HPV Association's world championships at Battle Mountain.
