February Critical Mass tribute to Sheldon Brown?

I don't know what his thoughts were on CM, but it would be interesting to see if someone could come up with a easy to print Sheldon Brown memorial spoke card that people all over could print out, laminate and sport at this months CM?

Just an idea? could it happen? it would be interesting to see in numbers how he touched so many folks....

what do you think? If we could get the card .pdf up and spread the word it would be a great visual way to honor someone that meant so much to the online/offline biking community around the country/World?

I would hate to see Sheldons name connected with critical mass in any way whatsoever.

Ditto.

When I die I sure hope no one pays tribute to me in a critical mass.

It's February. Lube you bike(s). A little preventative maintenance.

Or go for a long slow ride.

If Sheldon supported CM, then I could see it.

I don't recall any indication that he ever attended or supported CM...

I saw him as a free spirit, not a "join the crowd and disrupt others" type.
