Yes, Happy Birthday! I know very few people who are so helpful in an open-source kind of way, getting nothing directly back. You're a real boon to the cycling community.

Happy Birthday Sheldon!

You have been an inspiration in my accepting the view that if it is on a bicycle, and it works, it is all good!

Please continue to bless the online cycling community with your wit and wisdom for many years!

Sheldon, you are without equal. Thanks of all the indespensible information seemingly unavailable anywhere else.


seeing this is your birthday, i can understand the attraction (or veiled contempt?) for the old french standard...... 22.0 quills, anyone?

Happy birthday, again!

Tonight, after a hard days work, when I have reached my dwelling, I will raise a glass containing some form of alcoholic beverage in your honor. Then, I will drink it and wait one hour before operating heavy machinery. Huzzah!

Happy Birthday, dude!
I wanna say something classy and inspirational, but that's just not my style. But, I'll say this: thanks for picking up the bandwidth bill for those pages. I probably visit them once a day on average.

Again, Happy Birthday! I'll open a cold one for you!

Thanks for answering my dumb questions, many long before I even thought of them. And thanks for letting me know I wasn't crazy to want to convert an old road bike to a fixed gear.

Happy Birthday!

If Sheldon had a nickle for each time a Forum member went to his website to find the answer to a cycling question that no one else could answer...well, Bill Gates might get jealous.

I know what I want for MY birthday. A cd-rom that contains everything on Sheldon's website.

There is no end to Sheldon's website. I think it's a self generating A.I. :D

Happy Birthday, Sheldon. I've learned more from you than 3/4 of my teachers combined.

That man taught me how to build a wheel, and helped me choose an internally geared hub.
