Many kind things have been said about the passing of Sheldon. Like you, he lead me into the depth of cycling like few others. May his spirit pass onto someone.

Like you, I first encountered Sheldon through the internet in the 1990''s. Since then, he has never been farther away from me than the nearest keyboard. Whether I wanted to reference information on his website or ask him a question, he was always there. I was astonished each time that he would reply to a question I asked him -- How could someone who received so many emails possibly take the time to respond to mine? Yet I never met him in person. He seemed perfectly at ease in this long-distance role: weaving a far-flung community among those who share a passion for cycling, most of whom would never meet one another. Our points of reference, and the intellectual underpinning of much of our debate would be vastly different without his contributions. Thank you, Alex, for noting Sheldon Brown’’s death.
