RIP Sheldon Brown

Font of cycling knowledge, modern-day renaissance man and all-around great guy Sheldon Brown has died.

Sheldon’s website has become the de facto reference source for all things cycling, he had a seemingly boundless knowledge coupled with an innate gift for sharing this knowledge with the world.

April first just won’t be the same without the latest invention from ShelBroCo.

If the measure of a man is in the lives he touches then Sheldon Brown was truly a giant among men.
