Adios, Amigo

I just read over on Prolly Is Not Probably that Sheldon Brown has died of a heart attack. This comes as a sad shock to me and my thoughts go out to his wife and loved ones.

I don't know where I'd be without Sheldon Brown. Probably with two blown out knees, missing teeth, and a misused bicycle for sale. If you've ever Googled anything having to do with fixed-gears (and bicycling in general) you've run into Sheldon's wealth of experience and information.

I've turned to his website for help countless times from skip-stops to basic bicycle maintenance to proper seat height. I was just on his site this weekend looking up chain tension. He provided helpful, enjoyable advice that I trusted from day one.

I'm sure he will be missed.
