You ladies have already said everything I felt on hearing this very sad news, but I wanted to add my appreciation for Sheldon and his devotion to the world of cycling as well. I hope that he went in peace.

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

How sad, what a sad loss. I really enjoyed going through his website and learning so many things about riding and bikes and just life in general. If it weren't for him, I would've never created my single speed or even new what I had. He will be greatly missed.

Oh so sad. There will never be another one like him. I've learned so much from his site. He will be missed by all.

Oh no! This is so sad. My heart goes out to his family and friends. As a real newbie I've recently spent a lot of time on his website and found it so incredibly valuable. What a profound loss for the cycling community.
