I must have been in the cupboard. RIP Sheldon and condolences to his family... I've used his site countless times to fix this or that on my bikes. An amazing man and should never be forgotten!

Thank You Sheldon!
 

I never knew you. Today, while surfing the net in an attempt to fix an old english 3 speed bicycle for my father (76 and still riding) I found a web page that instructed me on rebuilding the sturmey archer hub. I would have never been able to repair it without the help of this step by step article.

I was sad to read you had passed.

I guess even after your gone you have still helped someone today.

Thank You Sheldon.

thanks sheldon, i think my next project will be called the Sheldon Brown inspired by you of course. Thanks for the inspiration

RIP...the author of one of the best websites I have ever ridden.

props to you Sheldon, you inspired me to build and ride my first fixie, and now i can see its a lifelong habit! thanks for your insight, information, and inspiration.

Still consult your site for info and tidbits all the time.. RIP Sheldon

**** I didn't even know about this. His site is the best. rip...

I live a few miles from the shop he worked at. They are giving out these stickers that have a pic of him, and text that says "ride in peace." The double meaning is perfect.

I just built up #5... when people come to the shop looking for the the fixed gear guy I have to give credit where credit is due.

I have never had a better teacher.

Like many folks, Sheldon's advice is the reason I got a fixie.

In addition to being really smart, the thing I think I respect the most about Sheldon was how willing he was to share his knowledge with folks. How many times in my life have I blown someone off because I was "too busy" to help them? Sheldon always had a few extra seconds to answer my questions. I want to be more like that.
