Dammit. Just.... dammit.


I miss Mister Brown also.


If it matters at all, he is still being discovered. I was talking with my son the other day about some bicycle maintenance or repair issue, and he was telling me about doing research on the internet and seeing this whacky guy with a bird on a helmet, etc., etc. I said, "hey man, show some respect. That's Sheldon Brown." So now he knows Sheldon.


I think that does matter. It would be a shame for such excellent work
to fall out of use.

We should also recognize John Allen, who has taken on the task of
maintaining and updating the site.
