Sheldon Brown - such a loss
To disable ads, please log-in.
Word on the 'net is that he died of a massive heart attack last night. This was way too early. What a loss to so many people.

OH NO! so sad! He will be sorely missed! His love of bikes and of France are inspiring to those of us who love both.

So sad. If anyone gets news of a memorial service please post here. I will actually be in Boston next weekend. I bought one bike from Harris, and Sheldon helped me restore another by email correspondance. So sad..........

He helped me too, online and via personal emails too. He was just an endless source of knowledge. His passing will leave a huge gap in the collective base of bicycle know-how. He was so positive and upbeat about his MS conditions, and to lose the battle so early is just too sad.
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

His death is so sad. I just e-mailed him last Saturday with a question and got a quick reply. He was so helpful to me and my partner. He will be missed!

Oh God. That is so sad. He was just such a great guy in so many ways. I can't believe it. Thanks for letting us know.

Thank you for the announcement. I hoped he'd publish his website in a book format. He was interested, but indicated he lacked the fire to get it done.
My impression is that he had a wonderful life. I hope when it is my time I am on my bike, but more than that I hope the same can be said of me.

The world is a better place because of Sheldon Brown. Such a tragedy that he died so soon.

This is truly a loss for our dimension of the multiverse.
