great guy, passionate about his bikes,

theres just one thing i dont agree with him about and its his opinion of downhill

"Downhill Racing
I consider this fad to be bad for cycling, and contrary to the spirit of cycling. It is effectively just a variant form of motorcycle racing, since most of the power is provided by the machinery that carries the rider and bike to the top of the run. Bicycling should be a human-powered activity, or it is not bicycling to me." - Sheldon Brown

other than that hes a cycling god!

 WHAT??? I must be out of the loop, the last time I visited his site, he was talking about his kids going to college... I had no idea he had passed? Truly a remarkable man, and one we should all look up to.

 man of legend right there, deffinately pod, couldn't think of a better way to honor him other than the rename of the bobw thread

 YEAH BUDDY, gotta love that smile

 He will be missed

 Sheldon Brown ...the bike mechanic guru...r.i.p.
