| The paragon of bike mechanics, Sheldon Brown (63), died of a heart attack on Sunday 3rd February, following a brief and characteristically good-natured struggle with progressive Multiple Sclerosis. Although according to his blog he’d been for a short ride on his recumbent trike as recently as January 12th. Few people really do become a legend in their own lifetime, and this title may seem a trifle overblown for someone whose life work was to tinker with bicycles. However, thanks to his website, the reach of Sheldon Brown was truly global. He helped and influenced so many people in their grimiest moments. Sheldon Brown is dead, long live http://sheldonbrown.com!
