Rest in peace, Sheldon Brown.

So, so sad.

RIP, Sheldon. You did good.

Very sad indeed.
Through correspondence with him, I was put on fixed gear path.
A great biking advocate has been lost.
- RIP -

W T F!!!!!!!!

Rest In Peace. i feel as bad as i did the day vonnegut died...

Wow. I only know of the man through my many visits to his site, which I still go to to find answers and learn.
Rest in peace Mr. Brown.

Wow I was just emailing with him a few weeks ago. His legacy will live on. This is quite tragic.

...

I signed on just to pay my respects.


Can someone reprint the "Sheldon Is My Co-Pilot" stickers?

I have no doubt Sheldon is now in cycling nirvana.

I am very sad to loose a great bicycle advocate. God bless his family and friends.

*******..... is the first thing I said. This can't be true. I refuse to accept this. We had a nice e-mail conversation going on a couple weeks back..... there was NOTHING that would make me thing it's going to end soon.

For now... I can't accept. I fscking can't accept this. There's so much stuff I wanted to discuss with him.

Thoughts go out to his family from far away. We dedicated bicyclists are an international crowd and the net made Sheldon Brown an authority all over the world. He will be greatly missed by us all.

yeah, now they have an unfortunate meaning.

Is there a way to send our condolences to his family? They deserve to know how much he was loved.

I just laced a wheel using his website and then i read this.. So sad to hear this. One of the most colourful people in cycling. I'm truing the wheel now, thinking about Sheldon.

I concur.

RIP Sheldon Brown

I can't believe. His site has helped with countless things. Major loss.

someone should contact sun race and see if they will dedicate the new asc to Sheldon since he did champion the effort to bring it back

oh no!

I haven't logged onto bf in months, and the first thing I see is this news.

what an inspiration... what a true character.

the world is a lot less interesting today.

I became a mechanic because of his website. Perhaps I will name my next bike after him, as my two bikes thus far are named after friends who have passed.

RIP

so many of us are so grateful for his life and his influences, it's strange thinking of his death as a loss. i prefer to think of his life as a gift.

every time i emailed him, he responded with one useful piece of information, and something hilarious. he seemed to take a lot of joy in life. he's got joke pages on his website, and pictures of him riding a tandem alone. he built crazy bikes out of what seemed like curiosity - or because he hadn't seen it done before.

he got so many people riding bikes. and that's great.

He will be missed. I wish I could have met him.

Rip..
