I was just checking up on his health concerns the other night and I really admired his positive attitude to his illness. Like others here on Bikeforums, I learned heaps about bikes, repairs and touring and he is deserving of a state funeral.

He provided me with an education in mechanics and bikes in general and he definitely saved me heaps of money. As Bikeforum members maybe we could start a collection or memorial ride under Sheldon’s name for research into MS. I always felt I owed him something.

My sincerest condolences go out to his family and friends.
