Sheldon Brown, 1944-2008
In a world filled with takers, Professor Brown just gave and gave and gave some more. The bicycle community won't see the likes of him again. Thank you Sheldon and RIP.
Transportation by bike means you are riding IN, not driving THROUGH like a car. You are life-EXPERIENCING, not sight-SEEING. You are in it and of it, and the beauty goes so deeply inside you that you could weep, and you just never want to get off the bike again.

A great loss
"a world of takers", that is so true !
His greatness is measured by how much we've used his site for reference. I remember after he died I worried that the site might go away!
