Sheldon Brown, 1944-2008: 1944-2008. Word has come from his wife that Sheldon Brown passed away last night from a massive heart attack. Countless cyclists have been inspired and influenced by Sheldon’s vast writings of his seemingly endless cycling knowledge. [Sad. I've been using his site lately to look up information about bottom bracket spindle lengths. I only recently read about his health travails. Thanks for all the info. RIP]

- danielberlinger: Back from truly epic ride. Flooding, rain, wind, lightning, thunder, hills. Water at least up to hubs at times. Good line from a cop though.
- danielberlinger: @jenlaurita Sorry. If you need a cup of power or something, c'mon over.
Sheldon “Bicycle-E-Cyclopedia” Brown, thank you for honoring our planet with the days you spent here. May you cycle freely now!
