I'm shocked and saddened to hear the news.

Sheldon was a legend - with easily the best cycling website ever, and one of
the
best websites ever, period! He will never be forgotten for as long as
the internet remains - which is bound to be forever!

Best wishes to his family at this most difficult time.

What a shocking, sad, sad day. Condolances to his family and
friends. I'm just a stranger who he helped with advice, and in such a
generous way. His polite and funny style will be an example to me, on
the net and off.

Will someone post details such as donations in lieu etc.?

Well it is a great loss. May the cycling trails in the sky be free and
clear for him to enjoy.

At least you didn't suffer a lingering death from MS, Sheldon, and were
able to ride almost until the end.

RIP.

RIP.

And had a wonderful family and was apparently a mainstay of the local
musical theater and was a god of the bicycle community. He lived an
incredibly full life and made the world a better place, God bless him.

That stinks. A very funny, charming, and knowledgeable dude. He was
(and will continue to be) a household name in many parts of NYC.

Farewell, Sheldon, and thanks.

NO! The trees in my forest are not allowed to fall. I am saddened to
see my good friend leave. It seems just yesterday that he and I rode
under blue skies along the Santa Cruz surf and up through the redwoods
along the San Andreas fault. I feel honored to have ridden with him.

Long live his memory and his accomplishments!

I'm a comparitive newbie to modern cycling and Sheldon's pages were helpful
beyond measure. He could have put all that information in a printed book,
yet he chose to share his vast knowledge for free. I'm glad I dropped him a
short email of thanks only recently.

I add my condolences to his wife, children and friends. I hope they can find
some comfort in the knowledge that Sheldon will be remembered by a vast
number of strangers too.
