Random thoughts, since I'm still a bit shocked:

My email is going to Sun Race in a moment.
I'll buy several stickers, but ONLY if the profits go to his family. I'd hate to see somebody throw something up on CafePress to make a quick buck off of someone's loss.
To the guy who's wife was in labor: "Sheldon" would make a fine name, even as a middle name.

I got back into cycling a couple of years ago after a long time off. Sheldon's writings not only reminded me of things that I knew from "back then" but he also got me up to speed on the changes in bike tech from 1990 to 2005 or so. To me, his best quality was his ability to think differently.

I've been thinking of converting my Bianchi San Jose into a San Jos8. When I do, I know what I'll name it.
