sheldon browni just heard from john (a new friend) that sheldon brown (the cyclist) passed away a few days ago. that bit of news stopped me at mid sentence. oh wow.

sheldon brown was a great help with my bike maintenance education. on cycling circles, if you want to know about bikes, especially the old ones, then he was the guy on the planet to go to.

i did not know him personally and we’ve exchanged a just a couple of mails. but reading his posts all over bike forums and his articles in his site you’d know he’s one of the good guys.

thank you sheldon. you are missed.

my condolences to the family from one of your extended family.
