I remember the excitement around that Lotus bike when I was racing as a teenager, and hoping that one day I might ride a carbon, aero-optimised bike like that, before dismissing it as science fiction that those ideas would ever become mainstream.
While I know in hindsight that lots of other people were working on similar ideas, I'd like to think in some way he made the idea seem possible, and anyone inspired by Boardman or the Lotus bike in the 90s, who's now riding round on on a Madone, Venge, or similar (and certainly a TCR!), should raise a glass to Mr Burrows next time they get in from riding it.
