Some very sad news today, the world’s most helpful and dedicated cycling guru Sheldon Brown has passed away. Sheldon was responsible for the greatest online bicycle maintenance website around and helped countless thousands (millions?) of people buy, build, and repair bicycles across the globe. He was a strong advocate of fixed gear bikes and his knowledge of obscure and strange parts and how to maintain them was phenomenal. His website was a hub for almost any bicycle related question you could ever have, and provided completely selflessly for free to anyone who needed it. Let’s hope it continues to be a resource used by cyclists both new and old, and stands as a tribute to a person who’ll be remembered with every turn of the wrench.
Man , I can’t believe it , such a legend should
have lived forever. The entire cycling world will miss him. Massive respect from all the shop monkeys.
I agree Grundy, we should have a minute’s silence in respect for the great man at our next BnC event. Raise a glass to Sheldon.
