I'd thought many a time about having the bike bible as a reference, but all I really needed was Sheldon's site on my laptop on the workbench. The stories have been pouring out all over the web of Sheldon's immense generosity with his time and knowledge, and I only wish I'd been there at Interbike to thank him and shake his hand, even just once. The memorial rides are proliferating like rabbits over at sheldonbrown.blogspot.com. RIP (Ride in Peace) Sheldon, you will be missed. Oh Sheldon.. what a guy.

I'm not much of a "bikey" person, but Sheldon even replied personally to my questions on BikeForums. I learned a lot about bikes from his web site, and wish I'd found it sooner. May he ever have a tailwind on his eternal ride. I hope someone steps up to archive and maintain his info. Truly sad.

I remember calling Harris Cyclery for a question about mounting the Rohloff on my Xtracycle and Sheldon answered the phone and chatted for a generous amount of time as if I were a local regular standing right there in the shop. What a wonderful contribution he was. I'll miss his zany wisdom and uncommon common sense. May his family grieve well and heal in their own sweet time.

I've been reading them all day and yours really got to me. Sheldon left an incredible legacy of community. He will be missed. Wonderful tribute, Todd.

He will most definitely be missed. I almost couldn’t believe the title of the post when I read it; I was literally reading one of his pages yesterday. He will most definitely be missed.
