The bike world lost a big one today.
Sheldon Brown was the spiritual, technical and Internet leader of the cycling world. No contest, no debate. This guy knew everything about everything, and was super humble to boot. His website www.sheldonbrown.com is a treasure trove of bike info. From beginner articles on clothing & lights to in-depth treatises on Japanese-made 10-speeds of the late 1970s, Sheldon Brown was the man...
To bikes, he was like Carrol Shelby, Lou Manfredini, Tom Silva, Csaba Csere, Massad Ayoob, and Andy Griffith all rolled into one.
Any hobby has extremists, but bike fanatics are true admitted weirdos. He was the only one who could bridge them all.
