Bad news this morning: Sheldon Brown, one of the most important figures in the cycling community, has passed away. He died of a heart attack.
Most of what I know about bicycle mechanics, I’ve learned from his articles. I’ve always admired his writings. They were simple and straightforward – the words of a very knowledgeable and generous man.
May he rest in peace.
