Not a tremendous loss for the cycling community only.
But for all men and women of good will.

Thanks for so much you taught us, Captain.

A mighty large pair of shoes to fill.

Definitely a huge loss, and we're all a lot poorer for it, but a whole
lot richer as riders, and people from what he gave to all of us out
here.
Just a wonderful, eccentric, real, human being, and someone we all
could be a bit more like.

Others have already said more than I could. Goodbye, Sheldon, we will
miss you.

What a nice guy.

I certainly feel like he is gone too soon. It's hard to say what
choice you would make until you're actually at the fork in the road,
and I can't imagine that Mr. brown had any choice in the matter... but
I think I would rather go quickly than to struggle with MS for years
on end.

This is a shock! When I first looked for Internet bike info, I was amazed
that someone had done such an expert and thorough job of bike documentation,
as can be found on Sheldon's website. The website is not flashy (just the
facts, ma'am), but it has undoubtedly helped countless people understand and
enjoy their bikes.

A sad day. He was an adult in a land of children, both in his
knowledge of things bicycle, and his behavior in Usenet.

We have lost twice today.

Exactly.

He was one of a kind, but there should be many others like him.

Man, does this bite. Sheldon saved me SO MUCH money. His website taught
me how to confidently approach the kids behind the counter in the LBS
and talk sense to them.

I really wonder if I would be biking as much if not for Sheldon.
