Timeline - Mike Miller



I've tried to write an introduction for Mike Miller a few times now and it just doesn't seem easy to sum him up. He's the sort of rider you see and then tell your mates about, but they don't understand because they haven't seen him ride... I'm not sure what it is about him, he's one of the few riders who can turn up and make everyones just sit still and watch. I'm sure that's not his intention but he rides a bike how it should be ridden. I'm not alone in this theory, many brands have tried to get a piece of Mike only to be knocked back. Currently he is sponsored by Proper Bike Co with whom he has a signature frame, the TTL(Tadley Town Locals). He is also sponsored by Eastpak, Aversion, New Era and Lotek and lives at home in Basingstoke, England.
