Sheldon Brown

Sheldon Brown passed on.

The hommage, to the man who was most know for creating a free resource on many technical aspects, on Belgian Knee Warmers is far better than anything I could hope to write.

While I never knew Sheldon, I did visit his site on many occasions. Sometimes to look at his bike collection, and other times to figure out some bike part dilema.

I feel as if I knew Sheldon becauseof the pictures he posted of his family and because of he time he took to develope the resource know as sheldonbrown.com. His site represented something special because it was him sharing a knowledge in which few had. Sharing is less common than we may think and that is why Sheldon's passing will resonate with so many of the faithful two wheeled devotees.

It is some sad news.
