In Memory of Sheldon Brown

To say that Sheldon Brown was a giant in our industry is an incredible understatement.  Today we learned that Sheldon passed on due to a heart attack.  He was 63.  Sheldon was one of those rare intellects - embracing and celebrating life with his talents, wit, and humor.  From our industry perspective, he was one of those "natural mechanics" - able to craft fantastic cycling things from his often whimsical ideas.  From the perspective of the cycling community at large Sheldon was an encyclopaedic resource on every and any aspect of bicycles.

We will miss him and offer our deepest felt sympathy to his family and to the Harris Cyclery staff as well. As far as we know, his voluminous web site will remain up and intact for the foreseeable future.  Spend a few minutes browsing and you will see just what we mean.

Rest in peace Sheldon!
