I'd emailed him several times with wrenching questions and ALWAYS received a quick and helpful reply...I also sent my "Fixed Gear Testimonial" to him and received a warm "...welcome to the club..." response. I've learned so much from his work...my sympathies to his family. Such a shock!

The man was (is) a legend even here in Australia. His family can be proud that he made the world a better place through his passion for cycling and passion for helping people. I have never been religious, but right now I really hope there is a place where good souls like Sheldon can go after they pass on. Somewhere with no cars. Ride In Peace Sheldon Very sad news.
